Ralph,
The answer to your question is in the US arm of your own company. Drop a line to James Moellmann, who has recently been to the IEC meetings in China and IEEE meetings in Florida all concerned with yet more standards on MOV-protected devices and equipment.

Regards
Mick

Does the industry really need another standard, I wonder?

I think this 'particular technology' is an important point. As I understand it, devices like Transorbs (TM?) are quite different from MOVs, being avalanche diodes with a very high thermal capacity. They seem to be rarely used (cost?) but have desirable characteristics (like
not exploding!). Are there relevant standards?
