CE Wire Colors

Anyone have any comments on what wire colors to use for a CE Mark (Conformity European) codes? This standard seems to be hard to find on the internet.

I would like to know what wire colors to use for 120VAC/24VDC combination panels. Colors in parenthesis below are what I've seen over the last 10 years of designing panels.

120VAC non-grounded circuits (red or black)?
120VAC grounded circuit (white or light blue)?
24VDC non-grounded circuits (solid blue)?
24VDC grounded circuit (solid blue, white w/blue stripe, blue w/white strip, or light blue)?

Controls!!!

Hi,

Probably because CE marking has nothing to with cable colours! CE marking is a declaration by the manufacturer that the product meets all the appropriate provisions of the relevant legislation implementing certain European Directives. The initials "CE" do not stand for any specific words but are a declaration by the manufacturer that his product meets the requirements of the applicable European Directive(s).

If you need to find out more http://www.dti.gov.uk/strd/cemark.html is a good place to start.
