No, there isn't, but the Low Voltage Directive (73/23/EEC) in its principle
protection requirements in Article 2 says:-
"The member states shall take all appropriate measures to ensure that
electrical equipment may be placed on the market only if, having been
constructed in accordance with good engineering practice in safety matters
in
force in the community, it does not endanger the safety of persons, domestic
animals or property when properly installed and maintained and used in
applications for which it is made."
I do not know of any harmonised standards relevant to this directive
that refer to domestic animals but on the other hand I do not remember
in any of the standards that specify hazardous voltages that they
specifically
state that these levels are only for the protection of humans.
