Hello.
In our garage, standard electrical outlets were installed, the same as inside the house, so with a very low IP rating. Does anyone know if a higher IP rating is required in the garage (unheated/solid construction) and where this is regulated?
Kind regards
Peter

I have never noticed flush-mounted sockets in garages.I have. It depends on the type of garage. Ours is basically in the basement and has standard power outlets.

If a room is heated and ventilated, it is considered a standard installation.
If one of these characteristics is missing, the room is classified as a wet room. But where can I find this information? I can’t find any source on the internet.
LordNibbler20 Aug 2021 22:43According to standards, I am not aware of any term called "wet room." Only "wet area," "damp area," and "dry area" are used. Bathrooms, for example, fall under the last category. They have the necessary regulations regarding installation zones.
Regardless, I would always install so-called wet-area sockets and switches in the garage. These generally have an IP44 rating and come with covers, making them well suited for this purpose. However, if they are exposed to constant UV radiation, the plastic should be resistant enough to avoid deteriorating after a few years. Often, these sockets have an IP68 rating or higher.
