V good question. I like it. Its got me thinking. I've never come across this situation before, but according to the BS regs. you can't do it. However, if a critical device is required, then I'm puzzled. I guess one way around it would be to use an IP rated extension cable that leads from an isolation transformer plugged into a socket in another room. You would have to make sure all connections are fully sealed (to IP65 at least) and display warning stickers on them to prevent anyone disassembling them during operation and should the area be wet.

There is no regulation prohibiting this (in uk), as long as there is no bath or shower in the same room/zone. However it would be recommended to use a IP65 splashproof socket eg MK Masterseal, and to have an RCCD at the circuit scource or integral with the outlet.

It would have to be IP44 rated, double insulated and isolated.
In theory, no, not according to the regs. Btut i bet there must be a clause somewhere that allows it, you'd best talk to your local council.
