There is no requirement in the standards saying that utilities found in /bin conform to the standard. The only files that the POSIX standards require to be at a specific location are /, /dev, /dev/console, /dev/null, /dev/tty, and /tmp.

The 2nd example in the EXAMPLES section on the POSIX command utility man page shows you how to start a POSIX script that will use the "standard" utilities when referenced by name assuming that you are running a POSIX conforming shell. And, if you can find a POSIX conforming command utility (note that command is almost always a shell built-in in a standards conforming shell, but there must also be a standalone command utility) the command:
Code:
command -pv standard_utility_name

will give you the pathname on your system of a POSIX conforming version of the utility named standard_utility_name in any shell.
