Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www.iso.org/patents).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.
For an explanation on the meaning of ISO specific terms and expressions related to conformity
assessment, as well as information about ISO’s adherence to the WTO principles in the Technical Barriers
to Trade (TBT) see the following URL: Foreword - Supplementary information
The committee responsible for this document is ISO/TC 22, Road vehicles, Subcommittee SC 32, Electrical
and electronic components and general system aspects.
ISO 8820 consists of the following parts, under the general title Road vehicles — Fuse-links:

Road vehicles — Fuse-links —
Part 10:
Fuse-links with tabs Type L (high current miniature)
1 Scope
This part of ISO 8820 specifies fuse-links with tabs (blade type) Type L (high current miniature) for use
in road vehicles. It establishes, for this fuse-link type, the rated current, test procedures, performance
requirements, and dimensions.
This part of ISO 8820 is applicable for fuse-links with a rated voltage of 32 V, a current rating of ≤60 A,
and a breaking capacity of 1 000 A intended for use in road vehicles.
This part of ISO 8820 is intended to be used in conjunctio
