I'm thinking about converting a downstairs bathroom to a utility room:
retaining the loo and basin (possibly replacing it with one of a

tumble dryer. So I'll have to install, or have installed, a couple of
mains sockets.

Does taking out the bath mean that the bathroom building regs no longer
apply?

Yes.


If not, what is the criterion which defines a bathroom and means
that no sockets are allowed?

It must contain a bath or shower. Cloakrooms / rooms containing loos /
basins etc are not included in the definitions.
