Bathrooms are defined as areas of increased electrical hazard. According to Amendment No. 3, (AMD 10983) from the Requirements for Electrical Installations, IEE Wiring Regulations Sixteenth Edition, it is necessary to fit ventilation products that meet a minimum of IPX4 in zones 1 and 2 of a bathroom. This means that when installed and connected electrically, the product should prevent the ingress of water splashing and remain electrically safe in use.

Vent-Axia SELV fans are IP57, making them the safest option available, and, with a 12V SELV supply offer complete peace of mind. Vent-Axia offers a range of IPX4 fans that also meet the IEE regulations. A competent electrician should install the product to ensure the integrity of IPX4 is maintained around cable entries.
