Hi Guys

I recently read an article online regarding some burning issues. It seem that Kitchen Sinks and Laundry Sinks are not treated as bathrooms , you can also place a Socket outlet within 2 metres of a tap under certain conditions , furthermore , certain socket outlets for home use no longer required a switch on the socket outlet

My question is

Can an Electrical DB be placed in a Laundry or Kitchen ? I have seen many instances where this is in fact true , but then the owner construct a cupboard over the DB encapsuling the DB

I have a Problem with That , since often these cupboards are used for storage and render the main switch Unreachable in case of an Emergency

Can you please shed some light on This Troubled situation

Kind regards
