Is installing a washing machine outlet under the sink safe?

Moon asks:

In the new house, in the apartment on the same line near the wall there is a bathtub, sink and toilet bowl. We want to put the washing machine under the sink. The washing machine will be closed from the bath with a wooden wall. Sink above it, on the countertop. We made a socket under the sink at a distance of 60 cm from the mixer. The socket is grounded and with a lid, in a separate line with an ouzo. The bath will be acrylic, but there is also grounding. How safe is it to use such an outlet for a washing machine?

The answer to the question:

AT this article considered all the provisions for installing outlets in bathrooms and toilets. 60 cm from the edge of the sink should be if you adhere to the requirements of the PUE. However, you write that the sink is on the countertop, the machine is under the sink and the outlet is under the sink, i.e. Is it closed on top with a countertop? And what does “60 cm from the mixer” mean? You mean from the place where the hoses are connected to it?

If yes to all questions, then a completely safe and normal installation of the outlet.
