provision must have been made for access to, and ventilation of the underside of the bathtub, whether it is
paneled in or bricked in. In the former case, make sure that the clearances between the panels, bathtub
and walls have not been sealed up. In the latter case, it is necessary to fit a door of at least 75x45 cm and a
