Paul, the minimum creepage distance and clearance requirements will be shown in the EN or IEC standard applicable to the product for which the board will be used. These requirements will not be unique to Denmark or to DEMKO. There will be references to other EN or IEC standards that allow

Amund Richard - Peter Merguerian had it pretty much right. While not specifically written into the US NEC, the local authorities having jurisdiction (AHJs) have not normally required (let us say, it would've been extremely unusual) Class II powered products to be safety certified, because
