does anybody know if electrical connector blocks (the strip type) have a BS number or a fault current rating?

I'm aware they have a current rating stamped on them, what i'm after is if they would withstand a prospective fault current of say 24Kamp.
its in a industrial premises, there are loads of connectors used in pre built motor control panels and they are used to wire additional remote stop/start buttons. i know its not best practice to use these but i want to know if they are designed to take large fault currents on a site with a Ze >0.01. been told they are fine in domestic situ with a smaller prospective fault currents but not on the site in question.
think the size of pfc does matter as all equipment installed must be able to withstand this. what if the cpd was faulty and didnt trip?
