I found the info on the thread colors:
Length of colors on thread (in cm)
Country Black Red Yellow
Austria 3 1 5
Belguim 1 3 1
Denmark 3 1 3
France 3 3 1
Germany 3 1 1
Italy 1 3 5
Netherlands 1 3 3
Sweden 1 1 5
UK 1 1 3
Also, besides the normal agency marks on the connectors, there is a special
mark that can be applied. It looks like a stylized precursor to the CE mark.
Now, mind you, this information is about 5 years old, so I would be
interested in knowing if anything has changed.
