EBU-approved convention cards have several example holdings for which the standard card led should be indicated. EW's CC has Hxxx and Hxxxx and xxxx for no trump leads. There is no entry on the card for xxxxx, from which their standard lead is fourth highest. So to summarize their no trump leads they lead fourth highest from holdings including an honour and from five or more small, but second highest from four small.
Sadly they must be using a very old form of the EBU card, because the last time I remember seeing exactly this ruling, I changed the design of the card to include the xxxxx. Although the blank card in the EBU website doesn't have it, I see - it has a nice blank space at the end where it should fit. I shall investigate.
p.s. I would adjust. There is no England-wide 'normal' lead from 5 low (I was originally taught to lead 4th highest from 5 low but I also learned the hard way that isn't "standard")
