electrical accessories in boiler cupboard

[clematis432]

Hi, getting a new kitchen installed and noticed we have a single socket and spur unit within our existing tower unit where boiler is enclosed. Is there any regulations now that affect this ? Thanks

thanks, just that the gas fitter would not connect gas hob to gas supply as a double socket was too close to it and I thought accessories next to boiler would be similar.

normally electrical accessories should be 6" away from gas appliances. where electrical gear is close to a gas pipe, the recommendation is 1".
