Kitchen wiring and back boxes

Examples.

OK.

1. Find me a 15mm box.

2. Find me a 30A cooker switch that the manufacturer recommends a 25mm box for.

The box depth also depends on the cable size.
MK recommend a 35mm box for their switch if using 6mm² cable or 47mm for 10mm².

Can't find a 30A cooker switch, they are all 45A, and none of them state back box depth.

Also:
"With a front plate less than 9mm deep - 46/ 47mm irrespective of cable size."
