I haven't seen an answer yet so I will offer what I know.  I am unaware of IEC
pass/fail standards that allow certification of cables based on environmental
conditions.  However, there are a set of test methods available under the IEC
60811 series of standards.  This series gives standardized test methods that
can be used for comparing cables.  However, I don't know how many vendors
publish the results of testing to these standards for their cables.

        Group,
        
        Which IEC/EN standard should be used to select outdoor (exposure to 
sunlight,
        rain, etc.) cables/cords, for supplying SELV, limited power, to an 
outdoor
        equipment?
        
        Thank you and Regards.
