Oven & hob on 13amp fused spur

Former Community Member over 4 years ago

I’ve come across an electric oven and gas hob on a cooker circuit, the cooker switch feeds a 13a fused spur which powers both the Oven & hob, hard wired into a 32amp junction box.
the oven is rated at 13 amps but the hob 3 amps Is this acceptable as the hob is protected by a 13 amp fuse?

I doubt if the gas hob uses much electricity! Just there to provide an ignition spark I suspect.
