NATIONAL FOREWORD

This Indian Standard (Part 1) (Third Revision) which is identical with ISO 8820-1 : 2014 ‘Road vehicles — Fuse-links — Part 1: Definitions and general test requirements’ issued by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards on recommendation of the Automotive Electrical Equipment and Instruments Sectional Committee and approval of the Transport Engineering Division Council.

This standard was originally published in 1963 and subsequently revised in 1974 and 2012. The second revision of this standard was identical with ISO8820-1 : 2008 ‘Road vehicles — Fuse-links — Part 1: Definitions and general test requirements’. The third revision of this standard has been undertaken to align it with the latest version of ISO 8820-1 : 2014.

This Indian Standard is published in 7 parts. Other parts in this series are:

Part 2 User’s guide

Part 3 Fuse-links with tabs (blade type), Type C (medium), Type E (high current) and Type F (miniature)

Part 4 Fuse-links with female contacts (Type A) and bolt-in contacts (Type B) and their test fixtures

Part 5 Fuse-links with axial terminals (Strip fuse-links) Types SF 30 and SF 51 and test fixtures

Part 6 Single-bolt fuse-links

Part 7 Fuse-links with tabs (Type G) with rated voltage of 450 V

The text of ISO Standard has been approved as suitable for publication as an Indian Standard without deviations. Certain terminologies and conventions are, however, not identical to those used in Indian Standards. Attention is particularly drawn to the following:

a) Wherever the words ‘International Standard’ appear referring to this standard, they should be read as ‘Indian Standard’.

b) Comma (,) has been used as a decimal marker, while in Indian Standards, the current practice is to use a point (.) as the decimal marker.
