[QUOTE="rogerk101, post: 507366, member: 33390"] I have just had a mandatory EICR done for a rental property. The electrician issued a C2 for a rocker type fan isolation switch mounted in the ceiling at 2.5m above the floor and 2m away from the basin tap, which is the closest 'wet component'. He wanted to see a pull switch instead. When I asked him which regulation this was contravening he was unable to quote one, but said the bathroom COULD get steamy and someone COULD get electrocuted by using the rocker switch, so he considered it UNSAFE, requiring repair before the property is considered rentable. Does this sound reasonable? Can anyone point me to any regulation that could be used to justify his decision? [/QUOTE]
