    Don't think so,but then I'm not a spark..
    A good reason why people who are not sparks should give advice on electrics, particularly in bathrooms!




    The way I read it is a standard 3 pin socket can't be fitted within 3 meters of a bath area & must be fitted with an RCD.
    A shaver (2 pin) socket must comply with the BS regs then they can be fitted away from the bath area,zone 2.

    Apologies if I misunderstood your post - this is exactly the point I'm making, how many people have got a bathroom that big! in addition, I don't think that it can be near the sink for the same reason, but there again, I'm not a spark either, but I err on the side of caution - possibly more cautious that the regs, but at least I'm safe.
