A mate had a gas cooker condemned because when the lid was put down over the burners the safety cutout did not work - a fire risk. No requirement to have a lid at all, so surely its OK to just remove the lid, which he did.
A gas bloke said this would be OK but then phoned back and said it would not since the cooker would still fail a safety test as "modified".
Anyone know what should be permitted here ?
Cheers,
Simon.

My cooker has a lid which if closed cuts off the gas
However there is no flame failure device so if the lid is up and the gas on
close the lid flame goes out open lid gas back on no flame
Or if the flame blows out
So mine has never been safe
I assume that modern gas hobs all have flame failure devices

In article <0LmdnaA2FYepGt7S...@bt.com>,
there are other ways. In commercial kitchens there is (should be) a gas
valve in the supply which won't operate unless the extractor fan is
switched on.

the explosive level in a house with the expected number of air
changes per hour. Cookers with a large wok or fish kettle
burner would have a flame failure detector on that large burner.
Nowadays, with new homes being air-tight, this may have changed.

Do they? I haven't looked at a new gas cooker for years, but a
change in requirements for air-tight homes could well have
caused that.
