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,


Tom

    Aren't we forgetting the reason for the "special location" regulations?


    They are not for occasions when someone might operate a switch - or, heaven forbid, pull out a plug - with wet hands.

    They are for when people might be stood on the ground (where else?) and receive a shock while having wet naked bodies and feet.



    Edit - or while in the bath, of course.
