Is a gas pipe next to an electric cooker safe?

[WalkingRiskAssessment]

Hi, my mother had an electric cooker installed yesterday. The guy who fitted it said it shouldn't be close to the gas pipe but it is.

The red arrow shows the gas pipes, the blue arrows are the electric supply for the cooker and the purple is the back of the cooker.

I know nothing of plumbing, electrics or gas safety so all I see is a "Gas Pipe/Electrical Wire/Cooker sandwich and am a little worried my mums house is gonna go boom next time she wants a steak pie.

Is this an issue or am I just worrying needlessly?

Thanks in advance 🙂

25mm is elec regs

Ask the “installer” what regulation numbers he’s referring to?

As per @ShaunCorbs, 25mm away from any electrical service, such as a socket, cable, switch et al. I’d be more concerned with the fitting that doesn’t appear to be blanked off.

The separation allows an electrician to work on the wiring without disturbing the gas and a gas engineer to work on the gas without disturbing the wiring.

Thanks for the replies.

So the distance is nothing to worry about but I should probably get the old gas cooker connection checked to make sure its safe/blanked off?
