Overview

HD 60269-3:2010/A2:2022 (CLC implementation of IEC 60269-3:2010/A2:2019) is a harmonization document covering low-voltage fuses with supplementary requirements for fuses intended to be used by unskilled persons - principally household and similar applications. This amendment (A2) updates Part 3 examples for standardized fuse systems A to F, clarifies test and measurement points, and introduces additional dimensions, time–current data and power-dissipation values (notably for 40 A sizes). It is a CENELEC-endorsed amendment for EU national standardization and implementation.

Key topics

• Scope and purpose
  • Supplementary requirements for fuses intended for non‑technical users (domestic/household installations).
  • Examples and standardized systems A–F (including D-type and various cylindrical systems).
• Time–current characteristics
  • Addition of time–current zone figure for gG fuse-links 40 A (Figure 127).
• Power dissipation & thermal tests
  • New/updated maximum and acceptable power dissipation values (including entries for 40 A).
  • Clarified measurement points for power dissipation and temperature rise (points A, B, C, D in Figure 109).
• Mechanical and dimensional updates
  • Revised drawings and dimensional data for D-type fuse-links, gauge-pieces and hand-keys (added 40 A gauge-piece).
• Performance and safety testing
  • Updates to breaking-capacity test references and discrimination (It) values for coordination with circuit breakers (revisions include 32 A and 40 A entries).
• Document harmonization
  • CENELEC adoption, implementation dates for national standards, and notice about patent-rights considerations.

Applications

This standard is essential for:

• Fuse manufacturers designing household fuse-links and holders to meet harmonized European safety and interchangeability requirements.
• Appliance OEMs specifying protective components for domestic products.
• Test laboratories executing standardized power-dissipation, temperature-rise, time–current and breaking-capacity tests.
• Regulatory and compliance teams ensuring products comply with CENELEC/IEC requirements for low-voltage domestic fuses.
• Distributors and installers referencing standardized systems (A–F) to ensure correct fuse selection and safe replacement by unskilled users.

Related standards

• IEC 60269 series (Part 1, Part 2 and other parts) - general rules and specific system requirements for low‑voltage fuses.
• National CENELEC implementations and endorsements of IEC 60269 parts.

Keywords: low-voltage fuses, IEC 60269-3, fuse systems A to F, household fuses, gG fuse-links, power dissipation, time-current characteristics, CENELEC harmonization.
