What with all this part P and everything I was wondering on the legalities relating to fitting them yourself? Obviously it would be better to fit them via a fused spur, but adding that takes you into part p territory due to it being in a kitchen, as I understand it. Whereas fitting a 13a plug with a 3a fuse and plugging it into an existing socket would be fine :rolleyes:

Am I reading that right?

In the simplest of terms, Yes.
If you use a plug top then you are not altering the fixed wiring in any way, so this will be fine for a DIYer to do.
 
So instead of having concealed protected wiring in the wall, you end up with a cable hanging down near a naked flame, assuming a gas cooker. God I love regs!! :LOL:
