What code should this shower be?

[Alan8838]

Hi all, I was with my senior yesterday doing a EICR for a domestic house. All of works are fine apart from this shower as shown below.https://Upload the image directly to the thread.com/5Egm5ez

Shower is low and tiled around. I was suggesting to give it a C2 as water might get in contact for such low height. But my senior was saying it's just a C3 as the shower's cover didn't has any sign of damaged and is protected by RCD.
Just curious for you guys to code this, which code will be in your certificate?

Thank you very much for all your input.

Not sure it's any code, it's a shower, designed for the location.

Would it not get wet if it were higher then?
It is a shower, they get wet.

Wouldn't it be higher potential to get splash with that height? When it's higher you dont get that much

That unit should be IP rated for the zone it is in no matter where in the zone it is fitted.

I don't think I'd give any code. Seen many at this height for disabled people

Providing it's installed in accordance with the manufacturers instructions, no code. I did question such a situation myself recently when I was asked to remove a shower unit and move it to an en-suite where the shower had packed up. The ensuite had it mounted at about the same height.

Checked the manufacturers instructions and according to them it was OK.

Quite clearly no code if the case is undamaged and RCD protection is in place. They are all made to minimum IPX4 and are designed to get wet and route the water down and off the unit away from any internal spaces.
