You could apply that to any CPD.

I would have no problem protecting 1mil with a 13A fuse (in my own house at least).
It's better than the umpteen extension leads with 0.75 when they have 8+ outlets, and you could never begin to guess what kind of load they could be subjected to

Does the stated CCC not allow for that?
Therefore, consequently, does any conductor in normal use ever approach 70°C?
Therefore, consequently, can we reduce volt drop values and increase maximum Zs slightly.
Qualitatively, yes, but not necessarily quantitatively - see below (once I've typed it!).You could apply that to any CPD.

Not the CCC tables we use, as far as I can see. Those tables allow for the degree of over-current that would be allowed flow by an MCB, but not for the ~1.7In which a BS1362 will apparently allow to flow indefinitely (as compared with 1.13In for an MCB). For BS3036 fuses, the regs indicate the correction factor that needs to be applied to the tabulated CCC figures, but there is no corresponding correction factor stated for BS1362 ones.

And yet you went ahead and installed it anyway?!
