Would a water closet, (ie,. basin and pan/cistern), area be classed as a 'wet area?'

Tomgunn
My sister has moved into her new bungalow and wants a switch installed in her WC... thing is, there isn't an RCD covering her CCU... BUT, I wouldn't class it as a 'wet area'... BUT, (aha!), would I be right and then I could change her switching around for a 1 gang switch in there?


Thanks...


regards,

    Hello Andy,


    Thanks for the reply!


    I KNOW... I should be more confident BUT, I think as time goes by I seem to worry about everything! Haha!


    Now, I thought... that there wasn't any distances' required for a kitchen sink... I guess the guidance book has changed, somewhat? 


    I can keep the switch 300mm away from the WC's basin and it's at the imperial, haha, distance from the FFL @ 54".


    Having looked around there seems to be the old 'cross-bonding'... I used to prefer that!


    Thanks again!


    regards... Tom
