Applies to 'gG' fuses for use by unskilled persons for domestic and similar applications with rated currents not exceeding 100 A and rated voltages not exceeding 500 volt a.c. This Standard is identical with and has been reproduced from IEC 60269-3:1987.

These requirements apply to "gG" fuses for use by unskilled persons for domestic and similar applications with rated currents not exceeding 100 A and rated voltages not exceeding 500 V a.c. Additional specific requirements are given in IEC Publication 60269-3-1:Low-voltage fuses, Part 3: Supplementary requirements for fuses for use by unskilled person Sections I-IV for the fuse-systems described therein and for fuse-links primarily for use in plugs.
