Default COoker point cable size?

I'm fairly sure that when this house was rewired that the cable

Has the standard changed over the years?


6mm is normal but it does depend on cable routing. Perhaps newer homes have more likelihood the cable is running in insulation.

4mm is the minimum cable size for a 32A radial :-)
