Extractor fans should be fitted in all kitchens and bathrooms to satisfy the Part F: Ventilation Building Regulations. For more information use the link below:

IEE Regulations state that all bathroom lighting must be encased to ensure that steam cannot enter and short the electrical circuit. If operated from within the bathroom, the light must be pull-switched.

Standard electrical socket outlets are not permitted in a bathroom. The only permitted power outlets are those specially designed for electric razors that meet British Standard 3535.

Electric cookers require their own dedicated circuit, using 6mm² two-core-and-earth cable. It should be protected by a 45amp fuse or MCB for appliances up to 10300W, or a 50amp MCB for a 10800W unit. The power supply to the cooker must be controlled using a 13amp fused connection unit, not a standard plug.
