Fair enough. The question actually asked why a 'kettle lead' should be 'rated' at 10A if it had 1.5mm² cable, and your response was to point out that the connectors were only rated at 10A (for whatever reason ). I suppose that my mind then did some extrapolating, and presumed that you would think that, if the lead (connectors plus cable) was only 'rated' at 10A, it would be irrational for it to have a fuse greater than 10A - although I have to agree that you didn't actually say that. My apologies.Did I ? I think the question was why a lead might be labelled as 10A when it's got cable rated for a 13A fuse. If one of the connectors is only suitable up to 10A then it would seem reasonable for the lead to be labelled as a "10A" lead.My comments were nothing to do with 'what is stated on the product' but, rather, were a response to Simon's apparent suggestion (at least, implication) that the connectors being rated at 10A was a reason for having a 10A fuse.
