Not in this country standard switches are not installed inside a BathroomHi Guys,
I have a standard (not the cord one) light switch inside bathroom, it is outside Zone 1 and 2.
Will this pass Electrical Safety Certification?
Thanks,

Well, it should (if there is such a thing) BUT it depends if your inspector knows what he is doing.Will this pass Electrical Safety Certification?

Is it a rented property?
Thank you guys. I guess it is best to get it replaced with a pull cord switch
If you want to get out of the shower or bath then switch the light switch with all that moisture in the room and on you then go for it, why dont you put a metal one in and disconnect the earth. There is a reason you would rarely see a standard switch inside the bathroom and not a pull cord, best practise would be a pull cord or outside the bathroom altogether. John D have you put one in yours.Why?
Is delmel your inspector?
If so, he is likely to be sacked soon for not knowing his job.
Unless it's switching a SELV circuit, I don't think that even 'waterproof' switches are allowed in bathroom zones - at least, that's what 701.512.3 appears to say.As above, there are many light switches inside bathrooms. Most are fine. It really comes down to where it is in relation to the "wet stuff" - inside the zones would be a no-no unless of a waterproof type ....
I may be wrong, but I would personally have thought that 'normal domestic accessories' are, in fact, pretty 'splashproof', aren't they?Just thinking out loud ... Is there anyone doing "splashproof" switches designed to match normal domestic accessories rather than going the "outdoor types that are nothing like them ?
