The sink unit has a washing machine and dishwasher on either side. My contractor has located the isolator switches in the under-sink cabinet on the back wall, right beside the plumbing.

My question is whether this conforms to the current IEE regulations?

If not, is my contractor obliged to follow these regulations?

Thanks for your help.

He is obliged to follow the Wiring Regulations, but there's nothing in the regs that says you cannot put a socket under a sink.
Are you expecting there to be a deluge of water??

If that were a concern, then lioghts could never be put into ceiling, just in case there was a burst pipe….
