Stuart As many people in this group can tell you, when CENELEC adopts an IEC as an EN (almost always under the same numeric reference) it declares any Common deviations in an annex at the back of the EN version - hence the need to (in theory, at least) buy the EN! However, any deviations in IEC/EN's that are used by the IEC CEE CB scheme are listed (althouhg not always very quickly in the relevant Section of the IEC CB Bulletin which can be ordered from the IEC or from most national standards organisation. Expensive, but nowhere near as much as buying the EN's themselves and well worth buying. For the rest, you could possibly rely on the "goodness of heart" of group members - but don't overdo it by asking for too many or too often! And don't take that as a sign that all members will feel the same about parting with information for which they themselves have already had to pay heavily - the cost of standards is a heavy burden on most of our organisations and we often have to fight hard to get the purchase requisitions signed. In return, it would help us if you can post useful information about relevant subjects or countries where you have particular expertise - give a bit to gain a bit is what this forum is all about!

They would like to determine the differences between their IEC standards and the equivalent EN standards. I was told by BSI that if the BSEN60xxx number is identical to the IEC60xxx number, the standards are the same. The person I spoke to was not aware of a way to get the differences between IEC and BSEN standards, apart from parting with (a lot of) money. However, the BS online website states that BSEN60950-1:2002 is a modified version of IEC60950-1:2001. I guess that the BS standard incorporates UK deviations and removes deviations for other countries, but we’d like to know if there are any other modifications? Thanks in advance Stuart Miller <http://msgtag.com/?source=ffooter> has notified the sender that this message has been received.
