Since they've only been at harmonization a short while, it will probably be some time before we see much commonality in a code area with well established traditions.
>From NFPA: European Committee for Standardization <http://www.cenorm.be/default.htm> (CEN) CEN Technical Committee 250: Structural Eurocodes <http://www.cenorm.be/sectors/construction2/eurocodes.htm> was established in 1990 to develop the Eurocodes, common structural rules for the design of buildings and civil engineering structures. They are issued first as 62 European Prestandards numbered ENV and then as European Standards numbered EN. Other CEN technical committees on construction <http://www.cenorm.be/sectors/construction2/standardization/tcs.htm> may be of interest.

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? There IS no EN version. Each EU state has its own version, such as BS 7671, because there are so many national infrastructure differences. If you go to this URL: http://www.iec.ch/cgi-bin/procgi.pl/www/iecwww.p?wwwlang=e&wwwprog=TCpubs .p&progdb=db1&committee=TC&css_color=purple&number=64 or: http://tinyurl.com/4esd8y you will see a list of all the sections of IEC 60364. Click on any one reference, e.g. 'IEC 60364-1', and that will take you to a web page about that section. Click on 'Preview' and that will give you a PDF of the Scope and other early clauses of the standard. IEC 60364 uses a non-standard clause numbering system, so that the Scope has 11 clauses, instead of just one. This works for ANY IEC (or CISPR) standard, and is freely accessible to everyone. - ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message is from the IEEE Product Safety Engineering Society emc-pstc discussion list.
