Electrical requirements and safety zones in bathrooms
DIN VDE 0100-701 (0100 part 701) 2010-08 applies to
rooms in which a person washes in a bath and/or shower,
and in which baths and/or shower devices are permanently
attached.
These rooms also include rooms with prefabricated bath,
shower or whirlpool devices and shower spaces without
shower tray (e.g. with TECEdrainline shower channels). The
standard does not apply to rooms with showers which are
only used in an emergency, e.g. emergency showers in
laboratories.
The safety zones in these rooms are divided into three
classes:
Zone 0
– pertains to the bathtub or shower tray area. Elec-
trical devices are prohibited in this zone.
Zone 1
– is limited by
• the finished floor surface area and the horizontal surface
area at the height of the highest permanently attached
shower head or water outlet, or the surface area up to
225 cm vertically above the finished floor.
• the outer edges of the bathtub or shower tray,
• the inner edges of the walled tray,
• the surface area at a distance of 120 cm from the perma-
nently attached shower head or water outlet.
This zone also includes the surface area under the bathtub
or shower tray. Electrical devices are also prohibited in this
zone.
Zone 2
– is limited by
• the finished floor surface area and the horizontal surface
area at the height of the highest permanently attached
shower head or water outlet, or the surface area up to
225 cm vertically above the finished floor.
• the surface area at a distance of 60 cm to zone 1.
Zone 2 does not apply to showers without a shower tray.
No safety zones have been specified for washstands, toi-
lets or similar devices.
Therefore, a TECElux module with an electrical connection
(for a “sen-Touch” flush plate or connection to a shower
toilet or shower toilet seat) may only be installed in zone 2,
outside the safety zone.
Installing TECElux in zone 2
When installing an electrical connection in zone 2, the
connection set for permanent electrical connections
(9660002) must be used.

Installing TECElux outside the safety zone
To create a simple interface to the power supply, it is
sufficient to fit a surface-mounted socket (protection class
IP 44) into the wall during the shell installation phase (see
assembly instructions of manufacturers Legrand, Jung,
Merten, Busch Jäger, etc.). During the detailed installation
phase, the fitter can make the connection for the electronic
actuation very simply with a plug-in power pack.
If a shower toilet is required, another socket must be
installed for the power supply to the toilet.
The dimensions for positioning the socket(s) are shown in
the following diagram:
