The twelve Seitei iaido forms (''seitei-gata'') are standardised for the tuition, promotion and propagation of iaido at the iaido clubs, that are members of the regional Kendo federations. All dojos, that are members of the regional Kendo federations teach this set. Since member federations of International Kendo Federation (FIK) uses seitei gata as a standard for their iaido exams and ''shiai'', ''seitei iaido'' has  become the most widely practised form of iaido in Japan and the rest of the world.

Single-style federations usually do not have a standardized "grading" set of kata, and use kata from their koryu curriculum for grading and demonstrations.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://ikkaido.eu/iaido|title=IAIDO {{!}} Welcome to IKKAIDO|work=IKKAIDO|access-date=2018-06-17|language=en-GB}}</ref>
