Hello Luiz, for Europe and also for the most Asien countries there is no general length for the power cord. Usually you have in the standards itself certain requirements. In the EN 60335 they requiere normally a length of 2 m, but for some appliances such as water kettles max. 0,5 m, which is specified in the related part 2.

I found specific requirements in UL (min 1,5 m, max 2,5m) and SASO (min 2,0 m). But I couldn't find any information for other regions (Europe, Asia, South Africa, etc.) Does anybody have this kind of information? Thanks, Luiz Claudio Bonilla de Araujo Joinville - SC - BRAZIL
