Socket distances

[Loki]

I know for new homes the NHBC says

In the absence of any advice in the appliance manufacturer’s installation instructions, an electrical fitting such as a socket outlet, switch, control unit etc. should be positioned to enable safe operation and to avoid the harmful effects of heat and steam from cooking activities.A standard electrical tting, (which is not splash resistant), should not be located next to a sink or drainer where it could be affected by splashing.A minimum distance of 300mm, measured horizontally from an electrical fitting to the edge of a high level grill, free standing cooker, individual hob, sink or drainer, is considered acceptable for the purposes of avoiding adverse effects from using a cooker, sink or drainer.

Just remembered this. Was in a commercial kitchen. The 2G was used to power 2 kettles stretched across the sink.
