## Custom axis elements should not duplicate standard taxonomy axis elements.

The table below shows a few widely used standard namespace axis elements, each playing an important disaggregating or other role in financial reporting. Instances should use these axes instead of custom axes whose names are minor variations. For example, instead of a custom element such as Product "Line", Product "Category" or Product "Type" axis, filers should use the "ProductsOrServices" axis instead.

Standard Taxonomy Axis Elements (sample)
CurrencyAxis
ConsolidatedEntitiesAxis
MajorCustomersAxis
ConsolidationItemsAxis
OwnershipAxis
RestatementAxis
StatementGeographicalAxis
ProductsOrServicesAxis
CounterpartyNameAxis

Each time the edgartaxonomies.xml file is updated with allowed versions of standard namespaces (see 6.22) the file https://www.sec.gov/info/edgar/preferredaxes.json may be updated with patterns of custom axis names that will result in XBRL warnings.
