Hey guys I have an antique version of IEC 364 (Similar to NEC but for Europe) which indicates Identification of Conductors by colour as indicated in IEC446 which now has been replaced by IEC 60446 IDENTIFICATION OF CONDUCTORS BY COLOURS OR NUMERALS and there is also DIN 40705 IDENTIFICATION OF INSULATED AND BARE CONDUCTORS BY COLOURS.
