Most European electrical codes don't allow electrical outlets in the bathroom at all.
- chemotaxis 1y agoThat's just not true. Electric toothbrushes, shavers, it's also not uncommon to have a washing machine in the bathroom. Maybe the UK is doing something weird here, but bathroom outlets are very much common in the EU.

It divides the bathroom into zones: https://flameport.com/wiring_regulations/BS7671_selected_subjects/bathroom_zones_BS7671.png https://flameport.com/wiring_regulations/BS7671_selected_sub... Zone 0 is inside the bathtub. Damn, so I can't put an outlet there? Zone 1 is over it, and zone 2 is 2 feet around it, and allows 12-volt outlets for small gadgets. Beyond that you can have ordinary outlets with the right circuit breakers (aka RCDs, GFCIs) integrated into them.
