Similar story as you with ISO18245: the list of merchant category codes (4 digit codes that categorize the world).
I did end up paying for the standard (which doesn't even give you the data in a programmatically accessible format! I had to write a pdf extractor). Thankfully there are public lists by visa, mastercard and stripe which also contain private ranges, so my published code shares not just the iso standard but also the matching entries in the other lists.
