Bathroom appliance help please

goldenboy1818

Hi guys just after a bit of advice here please

Customer wants to build a full height cupboard and the bottom of the bath and put a washing machine and tumble dryer in it. It will have a door on the cupboard.

How would regs apply to this ? I can make it 3 x flex outlets and sfs outside the bathroom if need be rather than sockets.

The appliances would technically be within 600mm from the edge of the bath but inside a cupboard so couldn't remember if that then meant zones did not apply 

Thank you for any help here

    Doors (together with walls, floors, fixed partitions etc.) do count 'where those effectively limit the extent of the location' - and traditionally the airing cupboard door was considered effective - otherwise the traditional DP switch for the immersion heater wouldn't have been been possible.

    There is still perhaps the question whether the door is 'effective' in limiting the location in your particular case - if it were a full height door hinged on the bath side for instance (so it was >600mm to go around it (like the 0.6m-S bits on the diagrams) that might be more reassuring 

    Don't forget the general suitability for the environment though - high humidity, likelihood of condensation etc will still need to be taken into account.
