Power switch in shower stall

I am installing an electric shower in a glass shower stall. Can the pull cord power switch be located on the roof inside the shower stall or do the regs say this is a No-no

I'm sure I read something recently when looking for Part Pee stuff that the switch should not be reachable from the shower ......not sure exactly why this should be as you can certainly reach the switch etc on the actual unit when you are soaking in water ..

Unless your ceiling height is over 3m, then the ceiling above the shower will be in Zone 2 and hence *not* suitable for installing accessories (of which a switch would be one).

Can't remember who posted the link earlier this week (apologies) but I've bookmarked

for good reason: take a look Sam.
