eicr coding question

[Dave the spark]

How would you code a cooker isolator switch mounted within the cooker space, I.e directly above the hobs?

It's a metal faceplate mounted flush on metal splash back.

How does that prevent it being turned off? The hob controls will still be just as accessible as they were before the fire started.

I remember when I was an apprentice, toasting our sandwiches on an electric fire for lunch. One day mine slipped off the bars, and started to catch the fire alight. Whilst I started to kick my cheese & pickled onion off the blaze, my electrician got up and turned the fire off at the socket. Guess that's what an isolator is all about, Mr Manwaring

Switching off the heater would have worked just as well is my point.

And if it's an electric hob then turning it off doesn't remove the source of heat, it cools down very slowly. The fastest way to remove the source of heat in this case is to remove the burning pan from the hob.
