hi all

thanks in advance.

as above states, iv come across a very old shaver socket and i know iv seen in the inspection schedules something about when a shaver doesnt comply... just wanted to know a little more about this?

the shaver socket is about 20 years old, has a switch for on/off so in my opinion this would come under this category (the shaver shocket is very close to the sink say 300mm so i would say because it has a switch with water etc this makes it not comply) but just like to know what the definition of one that doesnt comply is.

Iknow im being lazy and should check the BYB, but thats outside! lol

Get off yer backside and go check in the BYB
 
Read the British standard number on the shaver socket in question, then compare it to the British standard number required by bs7671 for shaver sockets in a bathroom.
