To Members of the Product Safety Group;

I am trying to find the construction requirements, and the standards that set
these requirements, for a protective earth(ing) terminal.

Many of us have learned that there needs to be locking washers and nuts
between each ring lug.  But where is this actually called out and required?

I am trying to show the engineering department were I work which parts of this
"good practice" are actually requirements of the requirements we will be
claiming to meet.

I have found a diagram at www.phihong/html/grounding.html (Phihong.com) that
shows reasonable grounding technique.  But this web site does not site any
standard as a basis for the technique.

I have searched 60601-1:1988 and 60950:95 looking for requirements and a
diagram.  I have found resistance requirements, 0.1 ohm max in 60601-1,
section 18 f), but I can not find construction explicit requirements.  

Does anyone know if any standard includes explicit construction requirements
for a protective earth terminal and for connections to a PE terminal?

Thank you.
