[QUOTE="SPECIAL LOCATION, post: 75271, member: 250"] another old MYTH I am afraid! BS7671 pages 165 to 169 covers regulations for rooms containing a bath or shower. e.g. 701.512.2 External influences. zone 0 at least IPX7. zone 1 and 2 IPX4. OUTSIDE OF ZONES... no major problems UNLESS exposed to water jets e.g. for washing down / cleaning at least IPX5. i.e. 3pole Isolators, fused spurs light switches CAN be installed INSIDE the bathroom.. provided not in zones 0,1 or 2! even a socket outlet can be fitted if its 3m horizontally from edge of zone 1 STEAM and moisture are not much worse than in a kitchen during cooking where sockets & switches can be within 300mm of ovens sinks etc.!!! :| [/QUOTE]
