Well I must have changed my mind about 10 times!
Pro's
It's done loads abroad.
Technically, it seems not to break the regs, but not entirely sure.
A few members who I respect are comfortable with it
Cons
It's very close to the bath and could actually be reached by someone in the bath.
Not entirely sure if it's abiding by BS7671.
A few members who I respect say 'No'.
I personally don't think it breaks the regs, but I also think the regs can't account for every situation and it's a bit of a cop out just to say 'it doesn't break the regs'. It's almost as if you find yourself trying to justify it just because it doesn't specifically say 'no' in the regs, even though common sense is telling you 'no'.
I was at the house today and I fitted a shaver unit, mainly because you could reach it from the bath... fairly simple in the end. :smile5:
