It could, but in practice, in any normal domestic kitchen, it won't. The current needed for rapid tripping is 1.45*In - ~46 A for a 32 A device. That's a load of over 11 kVA (assuming 240 actual volts).

What's the deal with these, then?
Manufacturer spec sheet (updated Nov 2012) also claiming ASTA certified
I have those exact Bussmann fuses, in every value on that datasheet. The 1A ones are not ASTA certified (all the others are). They never are from any other manufacturer either (although I don't currently have any from any other manufacturer).
That certainly used to be the case - they contained no sand - but it does look as if they are approved now.
I'm not sure there is any other UK OEM of BS 162 fuses left now. There might be one or two Far-Eastern sources with genuine certification. (And at least one importer of non-compliant product with fake certification.)
CE mark? - certainly sir, it stands for /caveat emptor/.
Oops, where did that 3 go?
Mobile phone company used it.
Probably the red printing - makes it harder to read ;-)
