Joe, Get a copy of EN 60073 - 1993, (IEC 73 - 1991) - it is a good reference. BSI publishes it as BS EN 60073. I doubt it is adhered to entirely by most manufacturers these days, but some of us still do. Like most everything in the Compliance world, it is at least open to dogged

Trevor, the new product specification must be applied by the date of withdrawal (DOW) that can be found in the new standard. The date is also posted on the CENELEC and ETSI web site - I don't know about CEN. However, keep in mind that the new product specification is not harmonized under most

Joe See IEC/EN60073 for the major colour assignments - and any sector-specific standards (e.g. for medical see IEC/EN60601, or for industrial equipment see EN60204 - but no special requirements for IEC/EN60950). 60073 requirements are very similar to what you quote for the Telecordia spec.
