The one I am replacing isn't IP anything but its half in zone one. |

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. 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. -- Andy |
