The standard(s) to which the product is certified. The date issued, and in some cases, there may be an updated date. The "Type" is the identification that you would find on the product. In this case, there are two types of C13 connectors. One is a 053 and the other 056. You would match the product to this document, and the product would have either 053 or 056.
