[Question] What to do with gas stove plug

[Thys LOW Elektries]

I see the gas stove plug problem had been severely debated in the past Gas regulations and building regulations from the past state one thing sans 10142-1 edition 2 say not much about gas stoves that work with gas and electricity

Scenario: I have to install a brand new gas/electrical stove fixed in a cupboard with four gas stove plates and an electrical igniter that comes with a 16A plug. Gas is heavy and go to the floor. Where do I place the 16A plug that feeds the stove without cutting the short lead?

If I have an air brick below or next to the plug, for ventilation, and the top edge of the plug is more then 200mm away from the bottom of the stove top can I deem it save and issue an COC??

Maybe the new edition 3 have some guidelines for gas/electrical appliances?

Hi

Edition 3 has been out for a while and now refers you to the gas regulations

I have attached the relevant section from the gas reg

Thanx for the info, but aren't an electrical contractor supposed to use SANS 10142-1 when issuing a coc???
Life is going to get chaotic and very difficult if I have to consult ALL the VARIOUS SANS regulations before issuing a coc

SABS looks like they are rather disorginized when it comes to regulations, the make stove regulations saying the 16A plug with a short lead is OK. They make gas regulations that says you can't plug the plug into a wall socket if the socket does not adhere to SANS 10087-1 specifications but the poor sparky have no rule that helps him out when it comes to COC time
So what now, do I say according to SANS 10142-1 the stove plug is legal or not?
