The ISA
- assumes a sea level temperature of 25 degrees C.
- is referenced from the equator.
- is taken from 45 degrees latitude.
Explanation from PART66Online
The International Standard Atmosphere is referenced to conditions at 45 degrees latitude, giving the agreed baseline of 15 degrees C, 1013.25 hPa and a 1.98 degrees C per 1000 ft lapse rate at mean sea level. It is not referenced from the equator, where surface conditions are warmer, and its sea level temperature is 15 degrees C, not 25 degrees C.

I think The ISA assume a standard day is the right answer

The international standard atmosphere are standard values of temp, press etc taken from 45 degrees latitude, it is a statement
