Rcd protectio in bathroom

[Murdochcat]

To clarify a little for those who don't know ....

All circuits serving a bathroom or passing through Zones 1 and/or 2 of a bathroom (but not serving the bathroom) have required RCD protection since the 17th edition in 2008.

I’ve always been a bit amused about the line “passing through “ above!

Who in their right mind would do this at all?

I had that job to remedy.
The shower room had been a cupboard, when converted the cables running top to bottom had been placed in a trunking right beside the glass screen.

The light you have requires RCD protection

At the end of the day it’s a rental and you have a duty of care for your tenants

Yes and agree .. I will always do what is neccessry to bring work up to what needs.

Thanks. I understand the bathroom light circuit needs RCD protection, and I am arranging for an RCBO/RCD solution for that.
What I am still confused about is why item 6.2 SELV/PELV has also been coded C2 as a separate item. If the bathroom fan/light is standard 230/240V and there is no 12V SELV/PELV equipment or transformer, would 6.2 normally be marked N/A rather than C2?

It's presumably fairly uncommon but, off the top of my head, I can think of two houses I've known in which cables of circuits not serving the bathroom 'passed through' the bathroom in the under-bath space.

The first house I purchased and reburbished I ran mains and comms cables, gas and waste pipe under the bath but of course it's not a 'Zone' if it requires a tool to access. One of my rental properties had heating pump under the end of the bath and non electric Chaffoteaux boiler above.
How the wetpants left it when the boiler was replaced/repositioned

And subsequent removal
