Talk of the devil - already been in Codebreakers
Code 2 apparently... Though the colour scheme may be a Code 1.
Looking further, there's a disabled seat in the shower, so this may have been put in to allow an elderly person to receive 'personal care' from a carer. May actually be safer than an extension lead from the hallway - or would be if it wasn't a BG cheapy with clips that will break in 6 months...
You must work really hard to be such a SA, taking the English language as it is "Zone" could/would refer to a flat plane i.e. M2, "Volume" refers to a cubic area i.e. M3 so volume is more accurate.See your post 41.volume mentioned 6 times
Point taken.?. By the way I have noticed from your posts a worrying trend developing where you are displaying the continental trait of objectivity and pragmatism towards electrical practice. I thought I better tip you off before you return to UK for a holiday?You must work really hard to be such a SA, taking the English language as it is "Zone" could/would refer to a flat plane i.e. M2, "Volume" refers to a cubic area i.e. M3 so volume is more accurate.
My friend. Appreciate your point. However one of the hallmarks of great British engineering and innovation has been its forward looking and open approach to learning. Been prepared to adapt and twerk is essential for progessIts possible that if that is a fixed glass partition (>600mm wide) the socket could be outside of Zone 2 but nevertheless it is within 3m of a shower cubicle.
A lot of this speculation about 'future' regs and what is done on the continent is irrelevant as we are (or should be) working to BS7671:2018 in England/UK at the present time!
There are sockets designed for wet areas. The difference is that in the ROI and the UK we have concluded our citizens can't be trained to use them responsibly. I fundamentally disagree with that assessmentWhich has been specifically designed for use in a wet area.

Guys. My sincere apologies. Please read "tweek" for "twerk" and "twit" for "Edmond"Been prepared to adapt and twerk is essential for progess
so that's why we have trained monkeys fitting smart meters. they adapt and learn, but still get it wrong

The problem with hanging around forums like this is you end up thinking we are "normal" and forget that some of the dumbest suggestions you see here are from folk who know a lot more about electricity that the majority of the population.The difference is that in the ROI and the UK we have concluded our citizens can't be trained to use them responsibly. I fundamentally disagree with that assessment
That is an issue, I was thinking along the lines of being able to earth the waste outlet as often they have chrome decorative bits, etc, but it is quite possible that will not be practical either.Ah ha old school still think the majority of baths are metal about the only thing metal on bath's now days is the taps, even the waste's are plastic. No offence meant.
I have looked at that, how do you know from that picture if the shower is in the same room as the socket? It is all down the the hight of the shower cubical door and if it reasonably seals at the top. If the door is over 2.25 meters high then it would be permitted.

Name some
Of course we aren't perfect and there are areas where the UK needs to raise its standards to match the rest of the world, such as with TNCS supplies and earth electrodes.
Which countries have higher standards in TNC-S than UK ?

Apologies for previous post. Cracked screen
I'm really struggling to work out what the last post by @Edmond Noonan is saying - a lot of broken formatting!
