Hi Chaz: Yes. (I neglected to include this parameter in my response to Chris and to the net.) IEC 950 and its clones require all printed wiring boards to have a flame-retardant rating V-1 or better. However, regardless of use of flame-retardant printed wiring board material, it is far better to prevent overheating in the first place. Flame-retardant materials burn in the presence of a heat source. (The advantage of flame-retardant materials is that they extinguish after the heat source is removed.) The purpose of the fuse is to prevent overheating.
