We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Safety standard", and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Electronicstalk which will be of interest. Let me be your guide.
 
Start with the news release Development package supports Power Architecture from Green Hills Software, which we summarised at the time by saying "Toolkit includes RTOSs, compilers, integrated development environment, a virtual prototyping platform, static analyser and high-speed hardware debug probes". A few weeks before, we featured the news release More power from DIN-rail supplies from Lambda: "DIN-rail power supplies produce 240W with convection cooling, boasting 90% efficiency for factory automation, industrial control systems and test equipment applications".
 
In July 2007, we covered the news from Lambda concerning its DPP120 - take a look at DIN-rail supply takes the middle ground which says: "120W single-output model answers requests from control system integrators who are using intermediate power level DIN rail mounted supplies".
 
Take a look also at the news release from Lambda, Configurable supplies pass IEC60601 medical test, as well as Setting the standard for LED lighting safety from UL International (UK), and Ultraminiature fuses protect on the surface from NIC Components Europe.
