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,

    Yes Tomm there are no zones in a WC area as there are in bathrooms etc. Just zones of protection same as elsewhere. Of course you`d give due regard to splashing etc just like you would near a kitchen sink and you`d consider all other situations that you should apply anywhere else anyway.


    Nothing specific about a WC or lavatory hand basin - despite the fact that many years ago someone decided to create a zone around a hand basin on his or her drawing and amazingly lots of others followed suit - It became folklore a.k.a "A well known fact" (Does that infer that if a lot a people belive something then it therefore magically bacomes true?) ?
