Wall mounted light switch in bathroom

[Neptune]

Is it within the regs to have a wall mounted light switch in the bathroom?
It would be away from the shower and opposite the toilet. The MCB is RCD protected.

It’s a new en-suite. It was suppose to have a pull code inside the bathroom but the tiler has assumed a light switch and positioned it accordingly. I am trying to determine if it needs re-routing or whether a light switch is acceptable here.
As I said, it’s opposite the toilet and more than 60cm from the shower. There is no bathroom furniture on this particular wall.

See Section 701 BS7671. This forum is not here to give you guidance on your rewiring activities. These works also require notification under Part P of the Building Regulations.

My advice is to find an electrician to work with. There’s a couple of builders who ask me what’s needed in advance, they do first fix, I have a look, and then when ready I do 2nd fix and test. Everyone wins, they keep costs down, I get easy work, they get their certificates and part P notification.
You know enough for this kind of arrangement to work for you.
Unless you’re going to buy a copy of the regs and do an online BS7671 course you need a friendly local sparks now.

The tiler has out the switch in?

Looks like the tiler is familiar with the regs.
