I have one source that says that codes are standards that are adopted into law; another says codes are not laws but standards generally are. Then another says codes tell you what to do, and standards tell you how to do it.

I have heard all of these things and I think the way people actually differentiate them IRL is “codes are the big ones and standards are the little ones,” but that feels too unscientific so when asked for the distinction, people make up something else
Yeah. The Electrical Code contains specifications that are defined in standards and tells you when to use them, it doesn't include materials testing rules because there are standards that do that.
