There is no standard. Every manufacturer has their own ideas, some conversion charts make it a bit easier to navigate but even that wont really solve it. Then there's a thing nobody ever talks about, breast shape. And with bras, this comes to cup shape, cup depth wire width, wire shape, wire depth and the list goes on. There's far more variables than just cup volume only... And people still believe the idiotic myth that "anything above DD is cow tits from my favourite hentai". 
I have found the British sizing most realiable to make actual sense into things. The double lettering is a good idea, helps to make sense to it. I don't even think in Euro sizes anymore because EU sizing does not have my size listed or manufactured at all. Closest thing to that would be Ewa Michalak but they have their own sizing system too which complicates things even further.
And breast shape, I don't want to tell people my bra size because they don't understand what shape does. Wide root and shallow projection make them look smaller, but they look obviously very wide. EVERYBODY perceives narrow and projected breasts bigger than wide and shallow, every. person. alive. Unless they're well in the know of breast anatomy, shape differences and their effect to perception.
Also another myth I fucking hate with a passion is the "universal cup size myth". Meaning that people think that all A, B, C, D, etc. cups are the same. They don't understand that the letter is a ratio, not volume.
I so much wish there would be some type of universal agreed upon sizing system, but that wont ever happen as every country and every manufacturer keeps on making them on their own standards. Reality is that bras should always be custom made, just like shoes should be because no pair of breasts are the same.
