It only tells that "The extension of ASCII code is done as specified in
the ISO 2022:1986 standard". I think this means the recognition. There is
also an informative appendix mentioning C0, and G0, so they are
recognized.
Based on my experience, the users only use the 0x00--0x1F controls and not
the upper controls part of the standard. This was

The character description part of the standard starts with describing the
characters I know as ASCII controls (SOH, STX, ...) with the same meaning
I know for ASCII controls, but assigning those the codes 0x81, 0x82, etc.
The informative appendix has a figure which shows the 8-bit space,
with C0, G0, C1, and G1 parts separated.
