Does this comply?

Working in a kitchen, and just thought, there's a shower in the corner! albeit it's like a separate room, but checking the osg can't see this scenario. I think it will have a normal shower door, and you step up into it, but the kitchen sockets are within 2m of it. It's an old Georgian house with no room for it anywhere else, so I guess they put it there. Can't work out how to post a picture to show!

The regs don't say bathroom or shower room but 'locations containing a bath or shower'
So that's the scenario.

If your on a laptop save the pic into your files.. then open a new post in this thread and click on the box with a tree in it on the selction bar above the post..

Choose option from computer
Select choose file and find the pic your after then double click it to bring it into the choose file bar
click upload pic

It may take a bit to upload depending on file size so don't keep clicking upload pic or you'll get multiple pics and a long wait.

You will probably find that a lot of sockets on landings, or in bedrooms are within 3 meters of the bathroom (bath or shower). It will depend on whether you class it as a separate room or not and using the measurements in the OSG to see if the socket(s) are outside zone 1.

I can't log in via webpage so I'm having to use the cacky app.

It's a kitchen, but then they've built the shower room outside, but with the doorway (which will be a upvc front door) in the kitchen, so it's like a room in a room, so the shower room is the location containing the shower and can be totally shut off from the kitchen, unless you open the door and then your looking into the kitchen.

Isn't there supposed to be two doors between a shower/bath room and kitchen?
Or is that only for toilets?
If the shower is in a separate room then it complies with BS7671.

I think that's just for wc's, having said that I've seen many with a normal door and shower door, I can't think it's all that different to an ensuit, just with a kitchen and not a bedroom

I think that was a building reg that is now defunct.

Think it still applies to commercial areas where toilets are adjacent to food preperation areas.

 

[ruston]

Yes it is one door for a urinal adjacent to a food preparation area(2000 regs), but I don't think it applies to shower rooms .
I think I may have to look up the latest building regs lol.

Is it not also to do with whether there is an extractor and a sink in the toilet, which then permits one door instead of two. I may be wrong tho!

I can only find it in old 2000 building regs regarding one door for a urinal adjacent to a food prep area.
I will have a look later. I opened the approved doc site, then made a cup of tea instead. Getting to old lol.
