I am running into a problem with UL not accepting the Brown/Blue color code
due to UL 2044 and The NEC stating that the Neutral must be white or Natural
grey. 

Has there been any updates to the NEC that allows the Euro Color code?

Robert,
I have always found the European color codes (brown/light blue/green
w/yellow) to be best for dual market use. UL and CSA seem to have no problem
with the use of these. You will need to provide some kind of legend plate or
tag explaining the color codes, as many U.S. electricians are still not
familiar with these.

        I know this was kicked around a while back but here we go again. 

        What are the allowable color codes for pigtails that come from a
permanently connected apparatus to be connected to mains for US and Europe?
Is there a color code that is allowable for both?

        Thanks in advance for any help..
