I think I read something that said it had to be IP65 for zone one but I
am not really sure.

The requirement is IPx4 for all equipment in zones 1 and 2, or IPx5 if
water jets will be used for cleaning [701.512.2, 17th ed.]. This does not
apply to shaver supply units to BS EN 61558-2-5 provided they're mounted
so that direct spray from a shower is unlikely.

So you can clean them with a hose but not spray them with a shower? 8-)


In zone 0 it's IPx7 and zone 3 will shortly cease to exist.

30 mA RCD protection is required for all circuits of course, if you're
working to the 17th ed.


Well it's not getting an rcd on the main light.
The last thing I need is for it to go dark for no reason.
It will have one on the rest though.
