Common certification marks for safety are the UL mark, GS mark, TÜV,
NEMKO, SEMKO, DEMKO, FIMKO, CCC, CSA, VDE, GOST R and BSMI. Common
certificate marks for EMI/RFI are the CE mark, FCC and C-tick. The CE
mark is required for power supplies sold in Europe and India.


But bringing this back to the original point, the operative word above
is "sold". If you put a transformer in a box for your own use you don't
need "type approval" (though if it's dangerous and somebody dies as a
result you might find yourself up on a charge of manslaughter).

Indeed. Although most who would attempt to build this sort of thing from
scratch are unlikely to be so stupid. A problem is far more likely with
assembling a kit and not following the instructions properly - as this is
where many start.
