NFPA has been trying to fill the common international standard roll in the
electrical and fire codes business http
//www.nfpa.org/categoryList.asp?categoryID=215&URL=International. It has had
pretty good luck with third world countries and the far east but has had
limited success in Europe, partly due to it's American appearance and also to
established preceding standards. At least it has a more rational price
structure and a little more coherence. 
Unfortunately the building code business is fractured even in the US with
states aligning with geographic clubs for their standards. Some of the groups
in the business can be found at http://

        So how do I buy what I need?  I guess I have to go to some webstore that
sells the IEC or EN version of the 60364 series, read the scope of each of the
many subsections, decide which ones I need, and buy them one at a time at a
cost of $100+ each?

         

        I suppose that’s a rhetorical question.

         

        Argh.

        I am unaware of a consolidated version of IEC 60364.  Any national 
adoption
will have national deviations which will likely not be marked.  

         

        BS 7671 may be a place to start.  Much of it aligns closely with IEC 
60364
and there is even correspondence between the clause numbers.  However, without
the two side by side, you won't be able to tell where BS 7671 is different
>from the IEC standard.
