I had to scrounge some of this together from a Google search and a visit to the Wayback Machine, so here it is in one place:

Take, for example, "F800mAL250V"

| F | "Fast Acting" (See below) |
| 800mA | 800 milliamps (if you have to substitute, go lower) |
| 800mA | 800 milliamps (if you have to substitute, go lower amps) |
| L | General Application, Normal Blow. Protection of wiring |
| 250V | 250 volts (if you have to substitute, I am pretty sure you want to go higher) |
| 250V | 250 volts (if you have to substitute, go higher volts) |

! Electronic European Fuse Markings
|FF or UR | Very Fast Acting, Semiconductor Protection Fuse |
|F | Fast Acting Fuse|
|M |Medium Acting Fuse|
|T or a Snail Shell | Slow Acting Fuse|
|TT | Very Slow Acting Fuse|


! Industrial European Fuse Markings
(gL, gG, gB, gTr, gR, aM, aR)
!! First letter
| g | Full Range |
| a | Partial Range |
!! 2nd Letter
| M | Protection of electrical motors. Capable of withstanding motor starts. |
| L | General Application, Normal Blow. Protection of wiring. |
| G | General Application, Normal Blow. |
| B | General Application, Normal Blow. Robust design for mining application. |
| Tr | Transformer Protection. |
| R | Very Fast Acting. Semiconductor Protection Fuse. [What is the difference between aR and gR?|http://web.archive.org/web/20060820075807/swecheck.com.au/frames/ar_versus_gr_index.html] |
