Ovens on cooker ccts

Farmboy
In domestic kitchens, what do you think of the practice of connecting ovens to 32/40A cb cooker ccts via dual cooker connection outlet plates? For example, along with a 6kw hob, a 2.5kw oven is connected via a 1.5mm2 3 core h/r flex? One view is that it's acceptable because the flex can't be overloaded and the cb provides s/c protection for the flex, nor would it be coded on an eicr.

    The cover all base solution is a single 13 amp unswitched socket wired from, and adjacent to, the low level cooker outlet, though only if space permitting if you are retrofitting and the new box has to go surface. Then to the flex on the 2.2 or 2.5 kW Oven fit a tank top , plug top?

    coded on an eicr.



    But would you necessarily be dismantling fixed equipment [the Oven screwed into the base unit] to find out how it was connected?
