Curt,
NFPA 79 is harmonized with EN 60204. The US differences are
clearly spelled out. Unfortunately, NFPA 79 is not a standard that is used for
product certification like many others – it is primarily used in field
inspections to satisfy local AHJ inspection requirements.
However, if you can show bridging from 60204 to NFPA 79 your
product should be in essential compliance with the key issues of the US NEC.
This should go a long way in showing compliance to any product standard that
would apply to the product.
You will need to be prepared to show the connection thru this
chain to the certifying lab folks. You need to be prepared, however, to deal
with details not covered in this overall approach from 60204 and the product
might have to be modified to show full compliance.
We can explore this more offline if you wish.

Subject: [PSES] US electrical safety standard for product tested to EN 60204?
Curious what list members would recommend. This is essentially and exercise
machine, tested to a variety of NEN standards including 60204. I was asked to
look at what might take for a US approval, and wondered what standard to start
with.
Thanks in advance!
Curt
