Electrical Panels Near Mop Sink

[captain kirk key]

I'm currently detailing a large commercial project that has a housekeeping closet with a mop sink and (3) 120/208v panels. (2) of the (3) panels will certainly be within 6ft of the mop sink, but I cannot find any verbiage whatsoever in the NEC that prohibits this. Similar questions have been asked on this forum throughout the years all with similar responses: As long as working clearances in Article 110.26 are maintained, there is no code reference that prohibits the installation of electrical panels near a sink. Thoughts?

I would have no problem with it.

There is no code rule that says you can't do that, and there is no reason for the code to have such a rule.

I agree with the others. A panel is not an "outlet," so the 6-foot rule does not apply.
