Hello Regan, I’ve only seen “high tension” in reference to overhead power lines. I cannot recall the term ever being used with equipment. There may be a more basic question than whether or not it would be accepted by an NRTL during a field evaluation. Would the meaning of a label stating “high tension” be clear to the user? Warning labels should be as clear as possible and intuitively understood. Most Americans likely wouldn’t know what the hazard would be if a piece of equipment was marked “high tension”.

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.
