To convert \(0.015\%\) to standard form:

### Step 1: Convert the percentage to a decimal  
Since \(1\%\) = \(1/100 = 0.01\),  
\[
0.015\% = \frac{0.015}{100} = 0.00015
\]

### Step 2: Write the decimal in standard form  
\[
0.00015 = 1.5 \times 10^{-4}
\]

Thus, \(0.015\%\) in standard form is \(1.5 \times 10^{-4}\).
