All products are designed in accordance with the international IEC320 standard "Appliance couplers for household and similar general purposes". Today IEC320 couplers not only connect household appliances but also a wide range of electronic and electrical equipment like computers, medical devices, office machines, telecom equipment and even industrial equipment.
The European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization (CENELEC) adopted the IEC recommendation to the European standard EN60320. Other national approval agencies harmonized their national standards accordingly (e.g. DIN VDE 0625 in Germany). North American agencies still test and approve according to national rules. Their standards differ from the IEC and EN regulations mainly in terms of elctrical ratings and temperature rating.
