No, there are only a relatively few standards to which goods can be 'approved' and most product safety standards are not included. >any feedback would be appreciated, and in this case, AC power cables is >my topic, is there a UL equivalent BSI uses? Power cables are special; 'approvals' can be granted but they are mostly to 'harmonized documents' (HDs), not ENs (approvals can possibly be granted also to UK national standards). The cable industry wants it to be like that. AS far as I know, there is very little correspondence between the HDs and UL standards. -- Regards, John Woodgate, OOO - Own Opinions Only.
