I recommend that you get copies of BS 1362 and all parts of BS 1363 from
BSI. You may also want to get a copy of EN 60799.

Subject: Mains Cords in the UK and the fuse rating






For an IT product there is a restriction in the use of mains cords with a
cross
sectional area of 0.75mm2 for units up to 6 amps when the cord is greater
than
2m in length (EN60950: 2000 section 3.2.5)

Can anyone tell me is there is a requirement (in any standard) specifying a
maximum fuse rating that should be fitted to the plug of such a cord and
what it
is?

Thanks in advance.

Kind regards,
Chris.
