Location of switches for fixed kitchen appliances.

IT wouldn't take much effort to add to the 18 th edition a thought out, sensible definition of "accessible"

Then this stupidity would be resolved.

A plug behind white goods is not accessible.... Imho

I agree, hence why all my white goods are plugged into a single socked Fed off a switched fuse spur above the work surface. Providing full isolation ...simples

Try telling those flipping kitchen designers that!

One of the last kitchens I did, we were struggling to locate the cooker outlet, for the electric hob & oven. The floor units either side of which were drawer units and then pull-out corner units. In the end, located it in a 400mm floor unit. Customer then retrospectively, decided that was wasted space, and had a recycling unit put in there.

Why have sw FCU? Why not DP switch? Even simpler

I had a box of ten kicking about. Being a Yorkshire man, I didn't want to spend more COIN

All you need to do is buy some sexy grid switches, i believe Hager make some with the appliance type etched into the switch, i think they look great on display and i could not understand why you would not want that functionality easily accessible.
if the client says no i dont want to see them just say "but there sexy switches" (as you rub them up and down your arm with a suggestive gesture on your face). hahaha
