Stuart, Technically, BS EN 60xxx is the same as NF 60xxx with the exception that the BS version is in English and the NF version is in French. All language variants of an EN contain all national differences and Common Modifications.
If you look at the listing of standards in the OJEC you will see which ENs are based on IEC standards and which are identical. So where do I find such information for UL standards and those used in China, Japan and other parts of the world?

They would like to determine the differences between their IEC standards and the equivalent EN standards. I was told by BSI that if the BSEN60xxx number is identical to the IEC60xxx number, the standards are the same. The person I spoke to was not aware of a way to get the differences between IEC and BSEN standards, apart from parting with (a lot of) money. However, the BS online website states that BSEN60950-1:2002 is a modified version of IEC60950-1:2001. I guess that the BS standard incorporates UK deviations and removes deviations for other countries, but we’d like to know if there are any other modifications? Thanks in advance Stuart Miller
