See below for the information on Israel that I have. I don't have any up-to-date information on Turkey, however in the past, Turkey was on the verge of beginning to embark on establishing regulatory requirements, but I don't know how far that has gone, if anywhere. I believe that Israel is the only one of the three that's a member of the CB Scheme and as such accepts IEC 950, provided the national deviations are considered, if any. I also believe that formal safety certification is not required in any of the three countries (i.e., submittal, labeling, etc.). Safety information can be obtained from the SII at: Standards Institution of Israel (SII) 42 Chaim Levenon Street IL-Tel Aviv 69977 Israel 972-3-646-5171 tel 972-3-642-7654 fax Craig Hensley has already provided you with the information pertaining to South Africa. I hope this helps, Ron Pickard
