Hi guys,
Was doing a PIR today and found a 13a ring socket mounted underneath a radiator really close to the floor. The socket is just a bog standed 2 gang socket on a surface mount backbox.
I seem to remember something in the regs about accessories being placed near to water but can't seem to find it now in the regs.
I did find the bit in 522.3 but I would have thought that it could only be classified as an AD1 which in turn means IPX0 witch means no additional protection.
But it just seems wrong and asking trouble, can anyone point me in the right direction??
Thanks
Luke
