Greetings, We just put a product through UL to be tested for outdoor use. It was a fixed line cord, and they required a W/A marking on the line cord. The W/A refers to a water absorption characteristic. I'm not sure what Europe would require, but I assume that it would have to be HAR cable and not SJT.
