Since you raise the issue, is there a way to identify counterfeit

"A genuine BS1362 fuse weight is 2 grams on average, anything higher or lower than this weight could mean it has not been filled with the required quartz sand."

"The combined weight of the 8 fuses is 18g. The weight of 8 genuine fuses on the same scales is 23g. "
