I have limited areas my fan can go. It is going to have be wall mount at the other end of my bath/shower head. My consumer unit is 30mA RCD protected.

    We are not talking about The Wiring Regulations.


    Please quote or indicate which of The Building Regulations mandate the fitting of  a fan in a bathroom - and/or mandate that it must work in a certain way and/or for a specific time after the light is switched off.



    What about the old wives' tale that the fan must have an isolator so that we can, where there is no window, repair it with the light on?


     


    I believe the BS 7671:2018 may have a relevance, under regulation 115.1.

    As for the regulation about fans and operation there is no regulation regarding this but I am sure you knew this, But if you choose to install one, a electrician should install it as per the regs. and then 134.1.1 would come into play don't you think.  And shame on you saying the IET prints wives tales, I am sure that would come in to maintainability?132.15.201 perhaps. if the light is off some one may assume all lives are isolated. and I am sure no skilled person would install a fixed appliance with out having local isolation
