Are there any restrictions on placing an electrical panel inside a restroom?

If so, could you please point me to the code section that speaks to that?
 
240.24(E) Not Located in Bathrooms. In dwelling units, dormitories, and guest rooms or guest suites, overcurrent devices, other than supplementary overcurrent protection, shall not be located in bathrooms

When I hear the word restroom I think commercial application.
 
Residential, nope, nonresidential is allowed to have a panel in it assuming required working clearance can be maintained, but I would not recommend it.
