In my day you would have got 5 points for calcualtinbg what raing of
fuse was theretically required and a further 5 for pointing out that
this was in fact irrelevant, as the purpose of the fuse was not to
protect the appliance, but its cable and therefore 13A would be a
standard fitting.


That would surely depend on whoever marking it had access to the regs
governing such things and understood them. Not something you could
guarantee.
