But there cannot be a hole where no-one knows who is responsible.
I suspect that's exactly why BS 7671's scope is what it is - it's the 'catch all' standard for anything electrical in the UK - if no other standard says otherwise then it's BS 7671's general (and fairly safe) principles that apply. If you want a cooker with exposed hot parts then you'll need another standard that overrides BS 7671 principles to specifically permit it.
