45metre 1.25 mm 3 core extension reel with a 1362 13A fuse well known manufacturers uk product......no RCD just your standard moulded plug from factory

While the ISITEE guide has limits, the reality is this is a production item that meets the various standards and is a damn sight safer than someone joining up 3 * 15m reels!
 
Without looking anything up (on holiday a.t.m.), 13A fuse and 45m of 1.25mm cable ? What does that do for disconnect times ?
Its not good, but as @westward10 already said it should be on RCD anyway.

Totally aside from the impact on OCPD based ADS, extension leads are one of the things that most need RCD protection, either at the CU or in the form of an RCD plug, etc.
