If I was to design a kitchen like that, I'd get sacked. No ifs or buts,.
There is actually no specified "law" regarding this, but to add on to what is said above, in BS7671:2008, regulations 132.5.1 and 512.2.1 refer to equipment and accessories being suitable for the environment that they are being used in. Also the IEE Guidance Note 1 on Selection and Erection, it states a recommended "safe" distance of 300mmIf it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, we have at least to consider the possibility that we have a small aquatic bird of the family anatidae on our hands
