The requirement for a 3amp inline fuse in the UK is generally from the manufacturer, not a regulation.
Indeed.

So why do they require that in the UK when they don't require it in other countries?

As I said
Do they make special fans for the UK, different from the millions they make for countries where you can't get any overload protection beyond the circuit OPD?

So are they selling us different fans to the ones they sell in countries where, short of a dedicated circuit, you can't put them on a 3A fuse?
