IEC connector under a bath.

Sparkingchip
I presume an IP rated 10/250  IE C320-1 trailing socket plugged into a panel socket on a control panel under a bath in a domestic bathroom is acceptable, because it is classed as a connector rather than a plug and socket?


I am pretty confident that is acceptable, it’s the other end of the flex I am concerned about, but just want to double check this end is okay.

    Let's look up the definition of socket-outlet. It is part of the fixed wiring, so if it is screwed down, it comes under 701.512.3. If it is a trailing socket, it is not included. If the bath is less than 6 m wide, it is impossible to be 3 m from the boundary of zone 1 under the bath.


    So there is no problem with the connector shown, but the other end cannot plug into a socket.


    That said, common sense would suggest that a departure might be reasonable.
