The fan isolator doesn't need to be in the bathroom (and, indeed, would not be allowed in certain locations within the bathroom) - which might help you to some extent.I need to install some points (shaver point, fan isolator) in my bathroom that has been fully tiled. Is it acceptable to run the cables down the walls in adjacent rooms and then through the wall to the boxes?
No, the accessory must be associated with the cable.maybe put a socket at low level in adjacent room but go through the wall at switch height for the shaver point using the one chase and capping?
Yes, but I don't see the connection.Is PVC capping still allowed with RCBO's protecting the circuits?

PVC (or, indeed, metal) capping affords no protection.

Nonsense though I agree it is, I'm afraid that EFLI is right ...That is nonsence, the cable does not need to be associated with the accessory. give me a reg and i will paypal you a tenner
...Where the cable is connected to a point, accessory or switchgear on any surface of the wallor partition, the cable may be installed in azone either horizontally or vertically to the point,accessory or switchgear
Yes, or oval conduit which may help should you wish to remove/replace the cable.No, not much protection, but unless I install metal conduit (which I'm not) would you just clip to the brickwork and plaster over?
So did I, but I don't think that makes 522.6.101(v) any less silly. The whole point of 'safe zones' is surely that one has to assume that a cable (any cable) may exist anywhere in any of the safe zones created by an accessory?Plus, although I may be wrong, I got the impression that the socket was to be low and the cable would come down vertically above to a shaver socket height.
