Annex B
(normative)
Cartridge fuse-links with DC ratings
B.1 General
This annex supplements the requirements of this document and is to be applied to already
tested and approved 5 mm × 20 mm or 6,3 mm × 32 mm fuse-links which are available without
or with wire terminations.
This annex relates to requirements applicable to cartridge fuse-links used for the protection of
electric appliances, electronic equipment and component parts thereof, normally intended to be
used indoors.
The object of this annex is to define additional test methods for cartridge fuse-links with optional
DC ratings.
B.2 General notes on tests
In addition to the requirements of Clause 7 of IEC 60127-1:2006, the following criteria shall be
observed.
B.2.1 Type tests
Replacement of 7.2.1:
15 additional samples chosen at random are required.
The schedule for testing cartridge fuse-links with DC ratings shall be according to Table B.1.
The requirements of 7.2.3 of IEC 60127-1:2006 are not applicable.
No failure is allowed in any of the additional tests specified in this annex.

B.2.2 Test bases for tests
Cartridge fuse-links shall be tested in a test fuse-base as shown in Figure 3.
Cartridge fuse-links with wire terminations shall be tested in a test board as shown in
Figure A.1. The test board shall then be mounted on the test base of Figure A.2.
