Default Switches in bathrooms, outside zone 2

AFAICS there is nothing preventing a regular wallplate switch being used

the switch is outside zone 2 and the installation is protected by a 30mA
RCD. Have I missed anything?


Answering my own question ... although there is nothing specifically
against it there is the general provision that every item of equipment
is to be of a design appropriate to the situation in which it is to be
used, or its mode of installation shall take account of the conditions
likely to be encountered. Condensation is a concern so I'll put the FCU
outside the room.
