Briefly, the <HAR> mark means the cordage has been approved by one of the members of the CENELEC HAR scheme, whereby cordage is tested to Harmonized standards, and is accepted by all of the members of the scheme without further hassle. A manufacturer can only get a HAR mark if he is in a country which uses the (European) Harmonized standards, so manufacturers in countries like the USA, China, etc, cannot get a HAR mark, and therefore have to get the cordage approved by a European agency, such as VDE. (Usually they get approvals from quite a number of agencies, but as far as I'm concerned, only one approval is required). I'm sure VDE would be very hurt that you even ask the question re suitability of a VDE approved cord in the EC. Yes, it is "suitable", assuming it is the appropriate cord for your product.
