A standard is an agreement. A protocol is a method.
Examples of protocols are:, the "handwritten" protocol for information exchange involves a piece of paper and either a ball-point pen or a pencil. The "typewritten" protocol for information exchange involves a piece of paper and use of a "typewriting machine".
Example of a standard: the "standard" for "office" information exchange is the "typewritten" protocol.
