Hello Lauren,
These are the likely standards. ANSI/UL 1059 <http://ulstandardsinfonet.ul.com/scopes/scopes.asp?fn=1059.html> , "Terminal Blocks" http://ulstandardsinfonet.ul.com/scopes/scopes.asp?fn=1059.html IEC 60947-7-1 <http://ulstandardsinfone .ul.com/scopes/scopes.asp?fn=60947-7-1.html> , "Low-Voltage Switchgear and Controlgear - Part 7-1: Ancillary Equipment - Terminal Blocks for Copper Conductors" IEC 60947-7-2 <http://ulstandardsinfone .ul.com/scopes/scopes.asp?fn=60947-7-2.html> , "Low-Voltage Switchgear and Controlgear - Part 7-2: Ancillary Equipment - Protective Conductor Terminal Blocks for Copper Conductors" The IEC 60947-7-x Standards are used in conjunction with IEC 60947-1 <http://ulstandardsinfonet.ul.com/scopes/scopes.asp?fn=60947-1.html> , "Low-Voltage Switchgear and Controlgear - Part 1: General Rules." There are also ANSI/UL versions of the IEC 60497 standards listed above that are options to UL 1059. http://ulstandardsinfonet.ul.com/scopes/scopes.asp?fn=60947-1.html http://ulstandardsinfonet.ul.com/scopes/scopes.asp?fn=60947-7-1.html Ted Eckert Compliance Engineer Microsoft Corporation ted.eck...@microsoft.com The opinions expressed are my own and do not necessarily reflect those of my employer.

All, Does anyone know of a certification standard (e.g., UL, EN) that may exist for terminal block accessories. I am specifically curious about "jumper bars" used to bridge the continuity of adjacent terminals. I've gotten a few hits on Google related to ATEX considerations, but my focus is just on basic "shock and fire" issues.
