Hi Mike,

Your question has such a large scope. What kind of equipment do you have in mind? Circuit breaker, transformer, panel board, safety switch....? Each of them have their own IEC standard.

Furthermore, IEC could be only a base as National Authority can reinforce the IEC with some local regulations.

To get some info, try to visit IEC site first

Hi Mike
Take a look att

http://europa.eu.int/eur-lex/en/lif/dat/1973/en_373L0023.html

This directive should be implementated to all EC-members legislation.
Se you!

Also look to British Standards for those that support conformity with the Low Voltage Directive. e.g.BS 60204 on Electrical Safety.

As FMegret stated it would be helpful to know a little more detail of your project objectives.

Cheers

Ashley.
