1. International Standards
IEC standard
International Electrotechnical Commission
By promoting international cooperation toward all problems and related issues regarding standardization in the electrical and electronic technology fields, the IEC, a non-governmental organization, was started in October, 1908, for the purpose of realizing mutual understanding on an international level. To this end, the IEC standard was enacted for the purpose of promoting international standardization.
2. North America
UL Listing Mark

UL Recognition Mark
Figure 2
UL (Underwiters Laboratories Inc.)
This is a non-profit testing organization formed in 1894 by a coalition of U.S. fire insurance firms, which tests and approves industrial products (finished products). When electrical products are marketed in the U.S., UL approval is mandated in many states, by state law and city ordinances. In order to obtain UL approval, the principal parts contained in industrial products must also be UL approved parts. UL approval is divided into two general types.
One is called "listing" (Figure 1), and applies to industrial products (finished products). Under this type of approval, products must be approved unconditionally.
The other type is called "recognition" (Figure 2), and is a conditional approval which applies to parts and materials.
CSA Certification

C-UL Mark Parts
Figure 6
CSA (Canadian Standards Association)
This was established in 1919 as a non-profit, nongovernmental organization aimed at promoting standards. It sets standards for industrial products, parts, and materials, and has the authority to judge electrical products to determine whether they conform to those standards.
The CSA is the ultimate authority in the eyes of both the government and the people in terms of credibility and respect. Almost all states and provinces in Canada require CSA approval by law, in order to sell electrical products. As a result, electrical products exported from Japan to Canada are not approved under Canadian laws unless they have received CSA approval and display the CSA mark.
Approval is called "certification", and products and parts which have been approved are called "certified equipment", and display the mark shown in Figure 3.
The mark shown in Figure 4 is called the "Component Acceptance" mark, and indicates conditional approval which is applicable to parts.
The C-UL mark shown in Figure 5 (finished products) and Figure 6 (parts) indicates that the product has been tested and approved in UL laboratories, based on UL and CSA standards, through mutual approval activities.
3. Europe
EN standard
European Standards/Norme Europeennee(France)/Europaishe Norm (Germany)
Abbreviation for European Standards. A unified standard enacted by CEN/CENELEC (European Standards Committee/European Electrical Standards Committee). EU and EFTA member nations employ the content of the EN standards into their own national standards and are obligated to abolish those national standards that do not agree with the EN standards.
(1) Germany
VDE Verband Deutscher Elektrotechniker
VDE (Verband Deutscher Elektrotechniker)
The VDE laboratory was established mainly by the German Electric Technology Alliance, which was formed in 1893. It carries out safety experiments and passes approval for electrical devices and parts. Although VDE certification is not enforced under German law, punishment is severe should electrical shock or fire occur; therefore, it is, in fact, like an enforcement.
TUV Technischer Überwachungs-Verein
TÜV (Technischer Überwachungs-Verein)
TÜV is a civilian, non-profit, independent organization that has its roots in the German Boiler Surveillance Association, which was started in 1875 for the purpose of preventing boiler accidents.
A major characteristic of TÜV is that it exists as a combination of 14 independent organizations (TÜV Rheinland, TÜV Bayern, etc.) throughout Germany.
TÜV carries out inspection on a wide variety of industrial devices and equipment, and has been entrusted to handle electrical products, as well, by the government. TÜV inspection and certification is based mainly on the VDE standard.
TÜV certification can be obtained from any of the 14 TÜVs throughout Germany and has the same effectiveness as obtaining VDE certification.
4. Shipping Standards
Lloyd's Register of Shipping
Lloyd's Register of Shipping
Standards from the Lloyd's Register shipping association based in England. These standards are safety standards for environmental testing of the temperature and vibration tolerances of electrical components used for UMS (unmanned machine rooms in marine vessels) applications. These standards have become international standards for control equipment in all marine vessel applications. No particular action is taken to display the conformation to these standards on the products.

  3. The hulk hands down , superman has the speed thats it
    , hulk is stronger by far . The hulk has no definite strength
    as long as he can get mad , he can get stronger.
    Supermans strength is quite high but its not infinite , after
    15min of fighting superman would understand online approach to end the battle will be to
    somehow grab the hulk and get him into outterspace and leave him and pray he in no way came again.

    But when once again toe to toe , hulk beats the s-curl outta supermans
    head.

  6. Why do you think some females look for out associations with guys in prison, a great
    deal of them imprisoned for lifestyle? Brutal serial killers
    just like the Night Stalker have had women seek him out for a partnership and feasible marriage.
    How come some girls do that? Could it be because they believe they'll be needed inside a drastic way by an imprisoned guy, a lot more than a cost-free guy?

  22. Jim, Cut &Paste from Wednesday:Vaclav Havel's address to the US congress, February 21, 1990: "The Soviet Union . . . was a country that rightly gave people nightmares."Noam Chomsky, February 1990: "I have in mind what I think is 1 of the most illuminating examples in the total and comprehensive intellectual and moral corruption of Western culture, namely the awed response to Vaclav Havel's embarrassingly silly and morally repugnant
    Sunday school sermon in congress another day It truly is
    also unnecessary to level out . . . that in comparison for the conditions imposed by US tyranny and violence,
    East Europe beneath Russian rule was pretty much a paradise.
    "Christopher Hitchens on Noam Chomsky in Slate magazine May 2011 right after the death of Osama bin Laden:"In short, we tend not to know who organized the attacks of Sept.
    11, 2001, or any other related assaults, however it could be a credulous fool who swallowed the (unsupported) word of Osama Bin Laden that his group was the
    one particular responsible. An attempt to kidnap or murder
    an ex-president in the United States (and presumably, by extension,
    the sitting 1) would be as legally justified as the hit on Abbottabad.
    And America is an incarnation on the Third Reich that doesn't even conceal its genocidal methods and aspirations. This is the sum complete of what has been learned, by the guru on the left, within the last decade."
