What type of locations are considered damp locations?

Damp locations refer to areas that are not necessarily wet all the time but are subject to moisture and humidity. This includes settings that are typically shielded from direct weather but can still encounter considerable moisture levels, such as basements, bathrooms, or covered outdoor spaces. Such environments may experience condensation or high humidity, making them distinct from both completely dry indoor areas and those that are continuously wet.

The other choices do not align with the definition of damp locations. Constantly wet areas are classified differently—often as wet locations—while areas exposed to sunlight are generally considered dry unless they are subject to other forms of moisture. Fully enclosed indoor locations may also not be considered damp if they do not experience moisture or humidity issues. Thus, the correct characterization of damp locations is tied to their exposure to moderate moisture rather than consistent or direct exposure to water or other environmental conditions.
