History

Greetings all, One of my fellow home inspectors called me yesterday, as the "old guy" to see if I knew when installing an electrical service panel in a bathroom became verboten. He had actually been asked that question by a local county building inspection official, who is dealing with it in a renovated home. (Virginia is an unusual state in that only new work must meet new code requirements. Old work is deemed grandfathered.) So, I in turn reached out to Bill Kibbel, who suggested that I post it here - being confident that Jim Katen might be the guy with the answer. The questions: 1. Was it ever acceptable to install an electrical service panel in a bathroom. 2. When did it become no longer acceptable to do so? Thanks in advance for reliable input! Mike
