Don't ask me where I got this, but ... 

An electrically dangerous fence is defined in most countries 
by the energy that the fence can deliver to a 500 ohm load 
in a second.  The IEC is something like 8 joules from fence 
energizers. Canada and the UK is something like 5 Joules. 
The fence must pulse once every second. 

There is an IEC regulation on them, but what it is I haven't 
a clue.  As far as how they relate to the LVD and such, I 
also haven't a clue. 

Sorry for all the non-information. 

Regards, Doug McKean
