They refer to ISO C from 1990 (I had to read the "references" section to
find out).

Pretty much the only difference between what is colloquially called
"ANSI C" and ISO C was the section numbering that went up by 3 in most
places to account for ISO boiler plate when ISO ratified the ANSI
standard.  The reference is to what is numbered 3.5.4.2 in ANSI C.  The
text can be found here:
