Discuss 240V Bathroom extractor fan in zone 1? in the Australia area at ElectriciansForums.net
What sometimes happens in situations not a lot different to the one described
A builder takes on a construction job
The householder or the builder says he will do the electrics
End of job, the council then want an Eic, off a part p registered spark, they then get a fool of a spark to come and do an illegal act by signing for an install that he did not construct
I would not install a mains fan in zone-1 in my own bathroom, even if it was Ok by the manufacturer,
he is not the one who will be using the shower, its me i need to protect.
If something went wrong with the IP protection and a shock risk was present,
i would not rely solely on an RCD to protect me from 230V.
I would feel much better with a 12V fan, as this system is a fail Safe configuration.

A lot of our accessories are imported. Zones (and their corresponding size rules) are unique to the UK so may not be quoted, the IP rating should always be given as that's an international standard.I`m a bit surprised the manufactorers dont mention zones. Seems like they dont want to commit themselves in case anything turns out to be wrong.
