IP and BS Ratings for Zone 2 in a bathroom.

[Serkit]

I'm refurbishing our bathroom including a replacement extractor fan and a relocated shaver socket.

I will have a professional electrician fit the new appliances but I wanted to shop around first to see what is avaiable. Dissapointingly not all suppliers give information on appliance ratings.

From my own research I have worked out that all my appliances will be in zone 2. I have found things like IPX4 and BS6158 and BS4573, which seem to relate to these. Can anyone confirm the ratings that I should be asking suppliers about, please?

Things like this are best to discuss with your electrician.
last thing you want is to hand him some parts that in his professional opinion are not suitable.
in that case you would end up with a bill for doing nothing other than turning up and going away.
