If I understand your question correctly supeing, code is generally the requirements of the authority having jurisdiction (AHJ) at your location.
Standards are rules that are set up so everyone at a particular place can understand how your particular instruments are utilized and installed.
The word 'standard' of course, can be applied to mean code also because the 'code' is a standard of the AHJ.
A company standard from scratch would be a huge undertaking. You should probably look for, or try to adapt, your company's standard from an existing one or ones.
You could check with the ISA and API and IEC organizations and see if they have 'standards' you can acquire.
