gkenyon:ProMbrooke:Yes ... these ignore the supplementary protective measures in Sections in Part 7. As per previous post.
So Section 701, before 2008, limit of touch voltage = 50 V, so disconnection time = 5 s as per your table for humid condition above. After 2008, either limit of touch voltage = 50 V, or RCD protection = better disconnection time. Mains not permitted in bathtub (zone 0) itself.
Would these be for mainland Europe where bathrooms may not have supplemental bonding?
I personally would not rely on bonding alone in wet locations, in particular exterior sockets where earth mat is not practical for a user.
