but the point is that it may well work for most people and is safe. I would give it a C3 under inspection, and it may well continue in use forever.
That all depends on how hot the mcb/RCBO gets. I don't have a crystal ball to determine how quickly that will degrade over time in this particular case, and maybe it will “last forever”, but experience in the field tells me that, on the other hand, it could last as little as 2 years depending on how heavily loaded the adjacent circuits are, and for what period, and how frequently the shower is used.
