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 amps)
L General Application, Normal Blow. Protection of wiring
250V 250 volts (if you have to substitute, go higher volts)

Electronic European Fuse Markings(Edit)

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(Edit)

(gL, gG, gB, gTr, gR, aM, aR)

First letter(Edit)

g Full Range
a Partial Range

2nd Letter(Edit)

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?
