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

Tomgunn over 5 years ago

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

Zoomup:

Sometimes, just for devilment, I use it with damp fingers.

? As with other safety measures like cleaning a knife with the blade pointing away, striking matches away from oneself, my mother drummed into me that I should never touch any electrical equipment with wet hands.

We also did kerb drill, both at home and at school.

Have these sensible measures been forgotten?
