AEG Oven Connection - Neutral Connection?

[flameport]

The wires go under the left side of each screw.

Just above the left side of each screw is a folded over tab of metal - the bare end of the wire goes under the screw and up against this tab, which will stop the wire moving further up when the screw is tightened.

This seems to make sense.

BTW, the oven requires 2.5mm wiring, the existing flex meets this requirement.

Yes but does the rest of the circuit meet 'the' requirements.
What is the size of the fuse/MCB/RCBO protecting this circuit?
Remember that the purpose of the fuse/MCB etc is to protect the cable and should always be less than the current carrying capacity of the cable.
In this case something like 20Amp would be required.

At the consumer unit, the cooker is on it's own circuit (on a MCB, but I will have to check the rating, I have a feeling that it is 20Amp though)

Double pole switch is present on the wall.

So, to get back to the core issue, is the stripping of the wire, and clamping using the screw, in this type of terminal block, an acceptable means of connection. I.e. would an NICEIC electrician be happy doing this?

Don't now about them but I would be, provided you were properly able to secure them - no missing or stray cable strands etc.
But then I would probably crimp them first.

Bear with me on this...

Is this what you would expect?:

Yes.

I assume that you have some form of clip on cover for the terminal strip because that would need to be replaced afterwards.

Yes, there is a cover

The conductors are indeed just secured behind the screwheads. But, rather than pointing up, as your graphic suggests, the conductors point down.
