Duncan: What you are looking for does not exist. In order to obtain an approval from a CENELEC testhouse according to IEC 127-2 (It should be 60127 by now) the fuse MUST meet the applicable standard sheet - this includes an acceptable current rating. In the case of the Time-lag, High-breaking capacity fuse, IEC 127-2, standard sheet 5 is applicable. Standard sheet 5 calls out ratings of .....5, 6.3 amperes - just as you have found.
If you will take a look at the time/current characteristic chart, and the endurance test on standard sheet 5 I think you will find one of these values fit your situation. Note that UL will NOT "List" fuses that meet the IEC 127 time/current characteristics but they will recognize them. This is due to the fact that the time/current characteristic shown in the UL standard are different.
