Mike,

Page 22 of our company copy of EN 61010-1:1993 refers to:

very fast = FF or black
fast  = F or red
medium, time-lag = M or yellow
time-lag = T or blue
long time-lag = TT or grey

There is a reference to these code/color designations coming from IEC 127.

There are some other "trade" fuse designations such as "slo-blo".  My
experience is that "slo-blo" has similar ratings to a type "T" fuse
according to IEC 127.  Of course, you have to check the manufacturer's data
sheets to see what standard they used for ratings ...

Hope this helps.

Chris.
