underfloor heating thermostat in a bathroom

Question

I am installing underfloor heating in my bathroom. The wall mounted thermostat control (Honeywell T6360) doesn't have the facility to fit a remote sensor so I presume it can put inside the bathroom anywhere outside Zone 2 is that correct? Is there anything else I might consider?

Generally anything mains powered that is not a 13A socket can go edit just outside Zone 2 so long as you are confident it is not going to be affected by the potentially damp conditions. EDIT inside zone 2 needs the manufacturers say so, edit and both in and out of zone 2 need a bit of judgement, so the places with most condensation can be avoided. EDIT made new scentance At least in a larger bathroom once you get beyond 2.5m into zone 2 you can have general 13A socket as well...RCDs will always be needed and some bonding might, depending where else that has been done and what the pipes are made of.

General fused spurs light switches etc are OK in zone 2 
 
 Maybe I'm just clarifying the clarification - but zone 2 - i.e. the first 600mm from the edge of the bath or shower tray - does NOT permit LV switches etc. You need to go beyond zone 2 for that (and beyond 2.5m from the bath for ordinary sockets - it seemed simpler when we had a zone 3).
