I'm looking for a summary of power cable (3-phases, device connected to mains) color coding for europe (CE) and america (UL) ?

I'm also looking for the corresponding standard reference ?

Thanks !

Though its not required by NEC, here's what we use in the US:

480V System - brown, orange, yellow, with grey for the neutral
240V System - black, red, blue, with white for the neutral.
DC System - Blue.
Systems powered form an outside source (interlocks) - yellow.
