701.30 Assessment of general characteristics
701.30.1 General
When applying this standard, the zones specified in 701.30.2 to 701.30.4 shall be taken into
account. For fixed prefabricated bath or shower units, the zones are applied to the situation
when the bath or shower basin is in its usable configuration(s).
Horizontal or inclined ceilings, walls with or without windows, doors, floors and fixed partitions
may limit the extent of locations containing a bath or shower as well as their zones. Where the
dimensions of fixed partitions are smaller than the dimensions of the relevant zones, e.g.
partitions having a height lower than 225 cm, the minimum distance in horizontal and vertical
direction shall be taken into account ( see Figures 701.1 and 701.2 ).
For electrical equipment in parts of walls or ceilings limiting the zones specified in 701.30.2 to
701.30.4, but being part of the surface of that wall or ceiling, the requirements for the
respective zone apply.
701.30.2 Description of zone 0
Zone 0 is the interior of the bath tub or shower basin, see Figure 701.1.
For showers without basin, the height of zone 0 is 10 cm and its surface extent has the same
horizontal extent as zone 1, see Figure 701.2.
– 5 – HD 60364-7-701:2007
701.30.3 Description of zone 1
Zone 1 is limited
a) by the finished floor level and the horizontal plane corresponding to the highest fixed
shower head or water outlet or the horizontal plane lying 225 cm above the finished floor
level, whichever is higher,
b) by the vertical surface:
– circumscribing the bath tub or shower basin (see Figure 701.1),
– at a distance of 120 cm from the centre point of the fixed water outlet on the wall or
ceiling for showers without basin (see Figure 701.2 ).
Zone 1 does not include zone 0.
The space under the bath tub or shower is considered to be zone 1.
701.30.4 Description of zone 2
Zone 2 is limited
a) by the finished floor level and the horizontal plane corresponding to the highest fixed
shower head or water outlet or the horizontal plane lying 225 cm above the finished floor
level, whichever is higher,
b) by the vertical surface at the boundary of zone 1 and the parallel vertical surface at a
distance of 60 cm from the zone 1 border ( see Figure 701.1).
For showers without basin, there is no zone 2 but an increased zone 1 is provided by the
horizontal dimension of 120 cm mentioned in the second dash of 701.30.3 b) (see
Figure 701.2).
701.41 Protection against electric shock
701.410.3 General requirements
To add:
The following protective measures providing basic protection (protection against direct contact)
according to Annex B of HD 60364-4-41:2007 are not permitted: "B.2 Obstacles" and "B.3
Placing out of reach".
The following protective measures according to Annex C of HD 60364-4-41:2007 are not
permitted: "C.1 Non-conducting location" and "C.2 Protection by earth-free local equipotential
bonding".
701.413 Protective measure: electrical separation
701.413.1 General
To add:
Protection by electrical separation shall only be used for
– circuits supplying one item of current-using equipment; or
– one single socket-outlet.
For electric floor heating systems, see 701.753.
701.414 Protective measure: extra-low-voltage provided by SELV and PELV
701.414.1 General
To add:
Protection against direct contact in zones 0, 1 and 2 shall be provided for all electrical
equipment by:
– barriers or enclosures affording a degree of protection of at least IPXXB or IP2X, or
– insulation capable of withstanding a test voltage of 500 V a.c. r.m.s for 1 min.
701.415 Additional protection
701.415.1 Additional protection: residual current protective devices (RCDs)
To add:
In rooms containing a bath or shower, one or more residual current protective devices (RCDs)
with a rated residual operating current not exceeding 30 mA shall provide protection of all
circuits. The use of such RCDs is not required for circuits:
– with the protective measure “electrical separation” if any circuit supplies one single current
using equipment;
– with the protective measure “extra-low-voltage provided by SELV and PELV”.
701.415.2 Additional protection: supplementary protective equipotential bonding
Modify:
Local supplementary equipotential bonding according to 415.2 shall be established, connecting
the protective conductor to the exposed-conductive-parts and accessible extraneous-
conductive-parts within a room containing a bath tub and/or a shower.
Supplementary equipotential bonding may be erected outside or inside rooms containing a bath
or shower, preferably close to the point of entry of extraneous-conductive-parts into such
rooms.
The cross-sectional area of these local protective equipotential bonding conductors shall be in
accordance with 543.1.3 of HD 60364-5-54.
The following are examples of possible extraneous-conductive-parts:
– metallic parts of water supply systems and metallic parts of waste water systems;
– metallic parts of heating systems and metallic parts of air conditioning systems;
– metallic parts of gas supply systems;
– accessible structural metallic parts.
Plastic sheathed metal pipes are not required to be connected to the local supplementary
equipotential bonding provided they are not accessible in the location and unless they are
connected to accessible conductive parts which are not themselves bonded.
In cases where in a building is no main equipotential bonding, the following extraneous-
conductive-parts which enter into rooms containing a bath or shower shall be part of the
supplementary equipotential bonding:
– parts of fresh water supply systems and waste water systems;
– parts of heating systems and air conditioning systems;
– parts of gas supply systems.
