Default Socket outlet on cooker circuit

Is it legitimate to have a socket outlet on a non-RCD-protected cooker

IIRC - the on-site guide describes only an integrated cooker switch
and socket outlet, not a separate outlet to the cooker switch.

The RCD requirement applies to protection of the cabling from the CU
to the outlet, rather than just the socket outlet - and given that the
conditions set by the 17th Ed cover almost all cabling, effectively,
yes, it needs to be RCD protected, but at the CU end.

Even if your cabling is exempted, there is an additional requirement
for RCD protection if the socket is likely to be used for appliances
outdoors.
