Equipment in bathroom cupboard

vantech

Hi, 

The regs stipulate zones for bathrooms, however I need some guidance on bathroom cupboards.

I have completed an inspection where there is heating control equipment located inside of the bathroom cupboard. This is mounted inside of an IP rated enclosure with a sealed transparent hinged door. There are no metallic parts, no switches etc, just the digital interface for the product itself. 

There is also a network switch, mounted inside of a locked rack enclosure. 
 

Am I right in thinking this is OK and I can treat this as a separate location? 

There are no sockets or switches on show - only 13amp unswitched fused connections. 
 

Thanks.

    If we have a bath with a shower head at the tap end and the cupboard has the door open (or is easy openable) and a standard person could be still in the bath and easy reach round into such cupboard and touch switch/socket/controls etc then should we be concerned? Well who would imagine someone actually doing that? Me. Who would imagine some years back a similar such person reaching up to a batten lampholder without a H O skirt and changing the lamp whilst live? Me. 

     

     

    Never underestimate the determined ingenuity of complete and utter idiots!

     Actually Charly Darwin had a way to sort `em out
