Wiring Regulations for Cloakrooms

[Catceefer]

Do the electrics in a cloakroom with just a sink and toilet need to comply with part p regulations? Some threads on here suggest not and I would like to check before starting to install a new one.

Thank you.

James.

If its in a dwelling, or shares a supply with a dwelling, yes, they do.

Some threads on here suggest not

I hope they don't.

All domestic electrics have to comply with Part P. I think you really want to know if a cloakroom counts as a special location under BS7671, to which the answer is no, it doesn't. Think bathroom, shower, lots pof splashy water, and that's your special location - not usually an issue with a cloakroom.

Thank you for the clarification. Yes: I meant, it seems, "special location". I had thought that part P was just the bathroom and kitchen section.

Regards,

No - Part P applies to everything.

Yep, all work on domestic installations in England and Wales needs to comply with part P, wether or not it is notifiable is a different question.
A WC is not a special location.
Only the zones in rooms containing bathtubs and showers are special locations (unless you are posh enough to have a sauna or swimming/paddling pool etc!!)
