Circuits within a shower room

[Guest 004]

It is my understanding that all circuits in a shower room need to be RCD protected. Can someone confirm please

IMHO yes - RCD or RCBO.

But, not retrospectively

 

[Guest 004]

I need the regs opinion

701.411.3.3 Additional Protection by RCDs

Additional protective measures shall be provided for all Low Voltage circuits of the location, by use of one or more RCDs having the characteristics specified in Regulation 415.1.1

I've highlighter low voltage because that is the only change from the the BS 7671-2008
