Ovens on cooker ccts

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.

  • If people did not buy products from certain manufacturers because of difficulties of complying with their installation instructions you would assume that the manufacturers would then adapt the product and/ or amend the instructions. 


    So maybe installers are at fault for cobbling up an arrangement that works rather than ensuring strict compliance with the installation instructions or declining the job letting the manufacturers get away with being silly at times with their requirements.
