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.

    How is pulling out an oven, which requires a degree of dismantling; or lifting a hob; or indeed pulling out any other item of fitted kitchen appliances, consistent with GN3 para 3.8.1 Scope: "... The inspection is carried out without taking apart or dismantling equipment as far as possible."?




    Is undoing a few screws in woodwork, that are only there to stop the oven sliding forward when opening the oven door, 'dismantling equipment'? Arguably not, and I would rather pull it out to see if there's some dodgy wiring in behind, than leave it due to an ambiguous guidance statement/term - and it's not doing harm, quite the opposite. Would you not take the tube out of a florescent fitting, and the lid off, to see if there's thermal damage to the wiring, because it's dismantling equipment?
