Hand Driers

I manage a charity's office and I have been asked to arrange to have a hand drier installed in the loo.  Obviously I will get an electrician to do this but I wonder if the great and the good here have any advice about what to avoid or what to choose.

And are their any restriction on how such a drier is wired in?

  • The circuit that supplies it will need RCD protection.

    Is that a BS 7671 requirement? (for a location that presumably isn't a bathroom (office loo), wiring that may be surface, hard-wired without the use of a plug & socket, and likely Zs within requirements for ADS by OPD). Not saying it's not a good idea, but maybe more of a recommendation than a requirement?
