What is meant with "MAINS supply cord" in the EN61010-1 ?
Sarah:
Guys,
thanks for Your input. Going along the standard I came to the conclusion that my 20W panel does not count as mains. The voltage level and impedance are way to low for the standard to cause any hazard, the panel is mounted to one unit together with the device itself and has a fixed wiring. Nothing can be done by an operator, it's sort of an 'inert' device which's just put somewhere where it does it's thing.

I've also heard of this referred to as low voltage. E.g. in the streets around my parents house the electrical distribution pillars are referred to as "low voltage pillars".
--- End quote ---
In an electric power world, everything below 1000VAC is considered "low voltage" (not to be misinterpreted as "safe voltage", it's just higher is even more dangerous)
Then, usually (but not always, depending on country), 1kV<v<100kV is "medium voltage" and everything above 100kV is "high voltage".
