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?

  • We had a discussion about the Z2 around the 'hand basin' some time ago - IIRC it was claimed that it came from an NICEIC/ElectricalSafetyFirst (or similar) publication that had been picked up by multiple manufacturers - seemingly an attempt to encourage 'better practice' and somehow merge general environmental conditions/IP ratings into the zone system for simplicity - but was widely mis-interpreted as being direct BS 7671 701 requirements. Manufacturers, thinking that they already had someone else to take responsibility for interpreting the regs for them were then reluctant to 'correct' things based on their own interpretation.
