There was the original "classic" Pascal ISO 7185.  Instead of updating that standard with newer stuff, a separate Extended Pascal standard ISO 10206 was created (politics) with lots of good stuff like run-time sized types, variable length strings, complex numbers, etc.  There were also a few TRs as well for ISO 10206 including an object-oriented system (which I don't think anybody implemented)
