Don't quite understand why.  I can understand a fuse*holder* having a 
voltage rating as that involves insulation.  I know these fuses include a 
glass tube which is an insulator, but that just holds the ends apart! 
Unless it's one of those cases where the law dictates that everything 
electrical must have a voltage rating regardless of how illogical it might 
be, like having a sell-by date on Worcester sauce.
