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,

    I have come across many w.c.s with a small wash hand basin and a conventional wall switch for the light. There did not seem to be any problem with that arrangement. People tend to dry their hands on a hand towel or use a hot air dryer before exiting and using the light switch.
