There is no such standard.
The markings here in the US are different from the ones used in either
Mexico or Europe.
That means that there is no standard.

The same is true in any industry, it's certainly true in mine. Those of
us who know what we're doing rarely get sued, (although, yes, we do,
occasionally get "nuisance suits" thrown at us) and when we do, they are
easily dealt with.
Ted, if you know what you're doing, you have nothing to fear.
If you have fear... well, I leave that choice to you. I'm sure that your
fears of lawsuits are well founded. I suggest you pay attention to them,
and limit your actions accordingly.
Forget about the money such choices will cost you, that money was never
yours to begin with. It belongs to well run, sophisticated dive stores,
who have a reality based view of product liability.

Then gain the knowledge and attitudes that provides such protection. What
you are doing certainly doesn't provide it, my heirs can sue you as
easily with your idiotic restrictions as they can without them. Your only
possible protection lies in your expertise. You are as vulnerable as you
are afraid you are.
That's the temperture, and this is the kitchen.

I was born in 1957. I'll have to defer to your knowledge of the 50s,
ancient one.
