Yes, there is. British Standard 5345 and its superseding ISO standard give full details. There is also an article on Wikipedia on this topic.

if I'm in a room filled with potentially explosive vapor is it a bad idea to put the white wire in my pocket and the black wire in my mouth while working on a live 480 V circuit?
