Summary of standards and regulations
Surge protection
standards and regulations
In the case of national and international standards and specications on the same subject, the document with the
widest scope takes precedence (e.g. international “IEC”, European “CENELEC” or “CNC”, national (Germany) “DIN VDE” or
Austria“ÖVE” (Similar to TÜV Germany, also valid in Austria.)).
