Dear Bostjan:

One of the uses of current rating on equipment is to determine that the 
equipment, with all of the other equipment, would not overload the mains 
circuit.  If the actual current exceeds the marked current, then the equipment, 
with all of the other equipment, can overload the mains but there is no means 
to identify the culprit equipment.

Note, however, that there is no limit on lower current than rated current.  I 
suspect this is because much equipment has an idle mode during which the input 
current is minimum.  


Best regards,
Rich
