Dear Jerome,

Try http://www.ul.com./about/index.html and/or
http://www.ul.com./info/standrds/part1/1-595.htm   etc.
They may be helpful.

In addition, I would like to comment that both UL and 94-V0 are not the
name of standard. UL is ... see the http above.
94-V0 is the highest ranking level that is defined by one of the famous
UL's standard so called "UL94"- Tests for Flammability of Plastics
Materials for Parts in Devices and Appliances.
Therefore, passing UL or 94-V0 means the item (materials, components,
enclosure etc.) complies with the requirements noted in UL's standards.
