The oil and gas industry usually stick with NFPA requirements, but in Qatar, where I work, there is a weird mix of local and British standards on everything else. The local authorities are starting to move into NFPA regs, but its a slow process. Sometimes you will have to take what you can get, like using LPCB approval instead of UL or FM for things like wiring, condiut, and pipe.
Hope this helps.
