What is a bathroom electrical zone?
Bathroom electrical zones indicate where electrical items should be installed for safety reasons. This includes bathroom electrical outlets, radiators and lighting, which need to be installed in designated zones to prevent the risk of electric shock. Electrical zones are especially important in wet areas like bathrooms.
Bathroom electrical safety zones are based on British Standard (BS) 7671 regulations, which help keep bathrooms free from electrical hazards. Each zone has certain requirements for installing electrical equipment.
