Sockets near end panels

RustyH

Afternoon,

Just wondering, whilst there are provisions for sockets and switch locations from corners of rooms, I've never seen any for proximity to kitchen end panels (such as ends panels of built in fridge freezers, etc)

I assume as these are not fixed construction as such, there is no Reg for distance between a socket and end panel?

    Not sure what you are asking here. So even though it is a beautiful sunny Easter weekend and everybody else has been on the beach, that may explain no response so far.

    The only restriction indoors that comes to mind is within 3.0 m, sorry 2.5 m this month, of a bath or shower.

    Are you thinking of the safe zones?

    That's handy as now with a short extension lead I can balance my phone charger on the edge of the bath tub.
