BS 7671 Section 701 bathroom zones

Good afternoon.

Would anyone be able to advise, why BS 7671 does not define any zones around vanity units in bathrooms? Section 701 appears to clearly specify zones only in relation to baths and showers.

Additionally, would it be acceptable to install a 230V magnifying mirror light rated IP21 very close to the water tap on a vanity unit?

  • I don't think sinks/ vanity units are included in the zone system in bathrooms, just the bath and shower.

    There is something about water protection in 522.3.

    I would also say IP21 isnt good enough for bathrooms or kitchens.
