Clause 3.3.1 of EN60950 allows "screws, nuts or equally effective devices"
for wiring terminals for external supply conductors. Clause 3.3.2 allows
"soldered, welded, crimped and similar connections" for terminals for
non-detachable power cords only.

My experience with TUV is that they do not accept wire nuts as being
"equally effective devices".

        Richard, 

        Under EN 60065 Clause 15.3.2 there is reference to soldered or
crimped connectors. This would tend to lead me to believe that flying leads
are allowed.

        I am under the impression that pig-tails are not allowed in most
countries 
        outside North America. 
        I know for a fact that wire nuts are not allowed by TUV.

                I know this was kicked around a while back but here we go
again. 

                What are the allowable color codes for pigtails that come
from a 
        permanently connected apparatus to be connected to mains for US and
Europe? 
        Is there a color code that is allowable for both? 

                Thanks in advance for any help..
