Extract from green OSG
H7 Number of socket-outlets
Sufficient socket-outlets are required to be installed so that all equipment likely to be used can be supplied from a reasonably accessible socket-outlet, taking account of the length of flexible cable normally fitted to portable appliances and luminaires. Table H7 provides guidance on the number of socket-outlets that are likely to meet this requirement.
In Scotland, mandatory standard 4.6 requires that every building must be designed and constructed in such a way that electric lighting points and socket-outlets are provided to ensure the health, safety and convenience of occupants and visitors. The Building Standards Division of the Scottish Government make recommendations for the number of socket-outlets that should be installed in a domestic premises in section 4.6.4 of the domestic technical handbook as follows:
4 kitchen – 6 (at least 3 above worktop height)
4 other habitable rooms – 4
4 plus at least 4 more throughout the property including at least one per circulation area per storey.
The socket-outlets may be either single or double.
Table H7 Minimum number of twin socket-outlets to be provided in homes

	Room type
	Smaller rooms	Medium rooms	Larger rooms
	(up to 12 m2)	(12–25 m2)	(more than 25 m2)
