RE: Standards

In all country are "compulsory standards" based on International Standards or even other national standards which has to be follows "ad litteram".
These national standards- as NEC [NFPA] in USA where AHJ may verify approve or reject an installation or a product or other. There are BS, NF, VDE standards and so on.
The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields.
The same IEEE is the world's largest professional association for the advancement of technology.
So, IEC or IEEE [and even NEMA] are consulting standards only.
One could mention it only in a specification at customer responsibility only.
