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 ;-)

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.
