I'm reading the IEE guide to building regs (version 16, part P, dated 2006) prior to getting a new electric shower, the circuit upgraded, RCD fitted, inspected, certified etc. but I have a query over positioning of light switch and shower isolator before I start hacking even more tiles off, fitting preparatory trunking etc.
The shower is in a cubicle quite near the main door to the room. Headroom floor to ceiling is only 210cm near the door so if I put pull switches in a natural place they are still within the 60cm rule for zone 2 so are forbidden (unless I put them above ceiling and have a hole through).
However, is a plate type switch okay outside the door to the room even though it is only 30cm from shower edge but via cubicle door and room door?
Regards Phil
