what is the old shower IP code in terms of drip?

went to a job recently and the show was really old it had a drip code of 1 drip, I beleive that this was in the old 16th edition. Can anyone tell me what the shower old codes mean in terms of drips e.g is one drip in complience for zone 0 under the 17th?

If you are doing work with other circuits in the house you might like to check the size of the new shower and make sure that the existing cable will be large enough to cope with the extra loading.
