Peter, Go to www.cbscheme.org . This is as good a site as any. Basically this is a global reciprocity scheme. Any authorized Certification Body (CB) for a country agress to accept the CB test Report issued by another CB, unless of course they believe it contains an error.
The many countries (30+) and CBs are listed at this site. SII is the CB for Israel. The CB Report is not an automatic license for any country, but will normally result in a country license without further testing. The trick is to make sure the issuing body tests to IEC 60950 plus all listed country differences. This avoids additional testing for things like the Australia dc ground current limitation.

I checked the "CB" in safetylink and it does not give a good explanation (advantages, etc.). Anyone knows of any other site on the internet?
