I never heard of it, did a search and found this:

You need to procure the Standard EN60439-1 to answer your questions.

If I can purchase I won't raise the question here. Can you describe the salient features?

No, since I mentioned that I never heard of it, therefore I do not know any details. I did a quick search and gave you a direction to follow.
