Tim, I can't help you with North America, although I am sure that some of our colleagues from across there will be able to do that, but for Europe the defining standard is EN 50160. You may still find some deviations covered by Harmonized Documents, especially in the newer states, but that document is the baseline.

I have been searching on the web but I guess I am using the wrong terminology in the search. Any help out there please?
