Greetings from California, Joe =)
Around here, we use "data sheet" on the front covers of all of our data
sheets.
As for an "authority", haven't heard of one. Doesn't mean one doesn't
exist.
Might try looking at http://www.aea.org and see if there's a list of
standard verbage there. =)
Good luck! =)
