Cooker isolators and the like

In my formative years electrical, I was brung up that an isolator for a cooker etc must be nearby, say within 2m and obvious as for useage (or clearly marked) as a readily available "rapid use switch" in case of say chip pan fires etc. Rather than having to locate them in cupboards or go to the CU etc to switch off and possibly plunge the whole house into darkness.



Modern folk and their kitchens, it seems some folk have an aversion to them.


Call me old fashioned but my order of preference is 1/ Safety, 2/ Functionalability and 3/ Asthetics.


Any views on this Folks?

  • One of the challenging parts of inspections for EICRs is finding the cooker switch.


    The odd thing is that generally the shower switch is usually out in the open and not concealed at all, when from a regs point of view they are not required, are they?
