USB charger outlet in Bathroom Zone2

I've been asked to add a USB charging port into a bedroom with a bath in it.

My understanding of BS7671 is that a room with a bath is a bathroom. As such the outlet would be in zone 2 of the bath.

Would I need to power the charger via a safety transformer and could this be built into a +IP4 enclosure similar to a shaver outlet

Thanks for your assistance

    It must be said, very few modern bathrooms have that much free space

    I suppose that in the days before fixed plumbing, one might have taken a bath in a bedroom, but my mind boggles nowadays. Who is going to spend so long in a bath that the 'phone's battery will run out? Rolling eyes

    Presumably, there would already be sockets in the bedroom.

    I am bound to wonder what completed the circuit in Graham's link. Could it be that supplementary bonding contributed?

  • The user might not have any charge at the commencement of the soak?
