Sockets in and around gas hobs.

[Gene Powell]

I know this is a subject that has come up a million time in the past but hear goes.
I have a customer that has a socket above her gas hob just off to one side but it's like 500mm above work top and I'm not overly sure what to do with it.
I know everyone talks about 300mm from sinks and hob but had a word with the nic tech and he said hobs don't matter could be 100mm away.
What are people's view on this
Many thanks.

Correct however we are required to follow it on sites we work on.
If not then the building inspector will have us move any accessories that don’t follow the guide so it’s best we follow it ,as compliance with it is not difficult

Shame the muppets at the IET can’t copy and paste this into BS7671

Where do the cables go from the socket? What do you plan to do with them?

They run down the wall from above it's an old 10mm so I'll disconnect from the ccu and the can just cut out.
