For clarity, I am writing it again:

DS DS/IEC 60092-306

DS DSF/IEC 60092-306

NEK NEK IEC 60092-306

Please explain what are the pre-fix are and what are the difference.

BSI stands for British Standards Institute.

IEC stands for International Electrotechnical Commission.

The prefixes indicate, that the respective organisations (often national organisations) have adopted the IEC Standard xxx for their own standards.

Example: There was an "old" national standard BSI xxx, issued by said organisation. The same topic is then covered by an international standard, e.g. IEC xxy. Then, the national standard BSI xxx is withdrawn and replaced by the international standard which then is identified by number BSI IEC xxy.
So it is made transparent to the reader, that there is a national standard BSI ... which is identical (some minor specific national deviations might be possible) to the wider recognised standard IEC ....
