Bathroom light fitting installation instructions.

Sparkingchip

There is currently a discussion on this forum about bathroom zones, I won't confuse the issue by adding this photo to that one.

A couple of weeks ago I installed a light fitting supplies by the customer, which came with instructions that include this diagram.

Every time I see a diagram like this I wonder where they originated from?

  • Countries that permit sockets outside Zone one, so long as it is also outside any  zone where splashing is reasonably expected such as a sink.

    I'm not sure about the latest but at one time the German regs were like this.

    UK regs have a further zone not shown at 2m5 for sockets and in principle allows a socket directly on sink so long as that sink is 2,5m or more from a bath or shower.

    There is not as much euroharmony among regs writers as there is among makers and exporters of bathroom lights, cabinets and sockets - as you might imagine, makers do not want to make more than one model , and the same applies to instructions.

    If it really matters is another question.
