The terms are international, not just EU.
If you look in the IEC Electropedia terms and definitions there is
en
high voltage
high tension
HV
voltage having a value above a conventionally adopted limit
Note – An example is the set of upper voltage values used in bulk power
systems.
[SOURCE: 601-01-27 MOD]
fr
haute tension f
HT f
tension électrique de valeur supérieure à une limite adoptée par
convention
Note – Un exemple est l'ensemble des tensions les plus élevées utilisées
dans les réseaux de production-transport d'énergie électrique.

In IEC English you can use high voltage or high tension, but in French
there is only haute tension

Subject: [PSES] High voltage versus High tension
Hi folks,
I never encountered this before but am curious if anyone had any
problems in using the European verbiage ‘High Tension’ in lieu of ‘High
voltage’ during their 61010 assessment on their labels and
documentation.
Unless I am mistaken on the Group & National differences, IEC 61010-1
does not mention anything specific on allowing this alternative
language.
I also want to know if ‘High tension’ would be a problem in the USA and
Canada during a Field evaluation or NRTL certification? (I only ask to
avoid having 2 labels/wording on a global product)
Thanks for sharing any experiences you had.
Regan Arndt
