[QUOTE="SPECIAL LOCATION, post: 507589, member: 250"] Bathrooms have zones due to increased the risk of electric shock, in the event of a fault, of contact between exposed skin, water and touching conductive parts.... These increased risks are not normally present in a kitchen.. (unless you do have some obscure kitchen habits!) Common sense has to be used... Some small kitchens could just have oven/hob/sink/drainer/fridge + 400mm of worktop. Which if you exclude proximity to ovens & sinks then you end up with no space to have any sockets at all and nowhere for the fridge to plug into!! (Our original kitchen was less than 8ft x 6ft.. ) Obviously where space permits you don't go fixing accessories right next to ovens/hobs/sinks etc.. [/QUOTE]
