IEC Bulletin # 162, Jan/Feb 1997
(It is unfortunate that the IEC has chosen to use the same 60K
numbering system that the EU uses... It continues to give the appearance
that the IEC standards are really European standards in disguise... To be
truly international the IEC standards need to be much more than European -
and include normal American practice...)
