I think the short answer is 'more or less' - but I have added a note below with dictionary refs.

fodpanel? I wondered whether it was "skirting board" at first. But then I believe the usual word for "skirting board" in Danish is "fodpanel" - are they synonyms?

skirting board

My first thought was skirting board, but a 'liste' is sometimes narrower.

En 'kantliste' is given as edge moulding in L&H Teknisk - I don't know if you can use that?

Dansk-engelsk industriordbog has:
fodpanel (bygn.) base board; skirting board; foot panel; skirting; wall base

and

fodliste:
base moulding; base board; (panelliste) skirting; skirting board; (sikringsliste) toe board; rail at foot level

and a lot of suggestins for sokkel, including

foot, footing .... (på mur) basement skirting

'Liste' goes right down to 'strip' or beading, while a panel tends to be a bit broader, but I think they overlap!
