The SI unit of pressure is the 'pascal' ... 1 newton of force on 1 square meter of area.

When you say 'standard', you may be thinking of the old standard kilogram and

standard meter ... an actual lump of metal and two actual scratches scratched

into an actual metal bar ... that used to be kept in the climate-controlled standard

mayonnaise jar under the standard mattress somewhere in France. Well, that was then

and this is now. The standard kilogram is still a physical artifact, but the meter and the

second of time are both defined now in terms of atomic behavior and the speed of light ...

which, in principle anyway, can be duplicated in any well-equipped laboratory located

anywhere.

But I digress. The point I'm leading up to is that there never were physical

standards of anything other than mass, length, and time, since all other units,

like pressure, acceleration, force, momentum etc. are combinations of those.

Why was 1013.25hPa taken as standard atmospheric pressure?

1013.25 hPa was selected as the standard atmospheric pressure because it is the average pressure at sea level in a region without weather disturbances. It serves as a reference point for comparing and measuring atmospheric pressure changes across different locations and elevations.
