FSD on hobs

[armyash]

When testing FSD's and hearing the 'click' a lot of hobs I test don't seem to have these, they are usually old so is that the reason? I have been putting NA on the landlord safety certificates a they don't appear to be present.

Is that correct?

You could put NCS

That's what I was thinking. NA in the safety device box then issue a warning form after completing the NCS section.

Why would you class it as NCS?

Unless it is in a flat, there is no requirement for the hob to have a safety device.

I wasn't sure if it was a requirement for cookers/hobs etc to have a safety device. Did look it up but couldn't see anything.

If no requirement for it I'll continue to put N/A.

Multi occupancy dwellings is ncs! Bit of a silly one that think. A gas explosion is just as dangerous in a semi detached as a flat ! Should be ncs full stop.
