What's the current regs and best practice for appliances in the kitchen?
For example we will have an integrated dishwasher and washing machine, should these have unswitched sockets mounted behind them with an isolation switch above the worktop for each one?
We will be fitting a waste disposal unit into the sink, these seem to just need a switch above the worktop to operate them. I assume this would be a switched FCU?
How about an island chimney hood, I presume this will require a FCU mounted on a nearby wall?
Lastly I presume a USA style fridge/freezer can just have a standard switched 13A socket mounted behind it?
Would each of the above be a spur off the ring main or can they be part of the ring main?
