time delay and non time delay fuse types)
by the following new text:
Fuses System H: Fuses with fuse-links having "gD" and "gN" characteristic (class J class L
and class T time delay and non time delay fuse types)

Fuse system A – Fuses with fuse-links with blade contacts (NH fuse system)
7.1.3 Fuse-contacts
Replace the first paragraph of Subclause 7.1.3 by the following new text:
The contact surfaces of fuse-links and fuse-bases should be silver-plated; If the surface
plating of the blade contacts of a fuse-link or the contacts of the fuse-base is other than silver,
the test according to 8.10 shall be conducted with dummy fuse-links as described in 8.10.1.
Permissable combinations of surface plating shall be defined by the manufacturer.

between centre lines of 3 times e according to Figure 101.
8.7.4 Verification of overcurrent distribution
Replace the second paragraph of Subclause 8.7.4 by the following new text:
The samples are arranged as for the breaking capacity test according to 8.5 and Table 20,
