Does anyone know where I can get the lowdown on IP ratings without having to
invest in the latest Wiring Regs. I am particularly concerned in the siting
of wall fans.

Take your pick!

or http://tinyurl.com/35op67 if it wraps.

Don't think there is a regulation regarding their siting. As long as
they suck air, thats good enough. Mind you one tucked at the bottom of a
wall behind the bog might have the BCO scratching for his rule book..
I'll say one thing tho, don't put a humidistat next to an open window
where it will come on in heavy rain showers ;-)

for the Part P regulations. My electrician vetoed my fan-at-the-end-of
the-bath idea cos is in the wrong zone. Luckily fan-in-the-ceiling was
acceptable. 2.4m above the floor is the magic distance istr

I'd have put a low voltage one in if it was in the bath.

2.4m from the bottom of the bath.

With a ceiling one you can have a ducted fan, with the actual fan remote
(in the loft for example), which gets round any zoning problems.
