Zone 0 | The area inside the bathtub or shower. Any fitting used in this zone must be low voltage (maximum: 12v) and be rated at least IP67, which is total immersion proof. |
Zone 1 | The area above the bath up to a height of 2.25m from the floor. In this zone, a minimum rating of IP44 is required. If the fitting is 240v, then a 30ma residual current device (RCD) must also be used to protect the circuit in this zone. |
Zone 2 | The area stretching 0.6m outside the perimeter of the bath and to a height of 2.25m from the floor. In this zone, an IP rating of at least IP44 is required. Also, it is good practice to consider the area around a sink (within a 60cm radius of any tap) to be considered as Zone 2. |
Zone 3 | Anywhere outside zones 0, 1, and 2 (subject to specific limits) and where no water tap is likely to be used. No IP rating is required. In addition to the above, if there is a likelihood of water taps being used for cleaning purposes in Zones 1, 2, and 3 then a fitting rated a minimum IP65 must be used. |
