If not, what is the criterion which defines a bathroom and means

You need to look up the zones.

I'll bet that link has has got the usual zone 2 ******** around the sink.

http://electrical.theiet.org/wiring-...s.cfm?type=pdf

has no such restriction.


In reply to Bert. The IEE have special regs (section 701 of the 17th
edition) for "locations containing a bath or shower".

So my conclusion is that a bathroom needs a bath in it to be called a
bathroom.
