Let’s clear this up first. IEC 60038 is the international standard for AC & DC standard voltages. The “103” is not a page number in the official IEC paywalled document.

The standard categorizes alternating current (AC) voltages into specific ranges to standardize equipment manufacturing and utility distribution: Low Voltage (LV): iec 60038 standard voltages pdf 103
IEC 60038 organizes voltages into specific categories, primarily based on the risk of electrical shock or arcing: AC Voltage (Vrms) DC Voltage (V) Extra-Low Voltage (ELV) Low Voltage (LV) 50 – 1,000 V 120 – 1,500 V High Voltage (HV) Key Nominal Voltages (AC Systems)
Some free, older, or academic summaries of IEC 60038 use “103” as a section marker. Think of it as the “sweet spot table” where 90% of engineers find the voltage they need. The Core Mystery: What is “PDF 103”
The standard specifies "preferential values" for various systems: Low-Voltage (LV) Systems (100 V to 1,000 V):
