Yes, it has required standards, it is a proficiency check.
But the logbook will only show IFR dual for a part 61 check.
But a Part 121 or 135 IPC will be logged as a failure.

I Flight review standard is "safe pilot" and an unsafe pilot
will not get the flight review endorsement, just an entry
for dual.
