FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 60364-7-701 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 64:
Electrical installations and protection against electric shock.
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 2006. This edition
constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous
edition:
– the scope gives precisions relevant to the application of this document;
– the description of zones is improved;
– relevant terms are defined.

64/2382/FDIS 64/2395/RVD
Full information on the voting for the approval of this International Standard can be found in
the report on voting indicated in the above table.
This document has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
A list of all parts in the IEC 60364 series, published under the general title Low voltage
electrical installations can be found on the IEC website.
The reader's attention is drawn to the fact that Annex A lists all of the “in-some-country”
clauses on differing practices of a less permanent nature relating to the subject of this
document.
The committee has decided that the contents of this document will remain unchanged until the
stability date indicated on the IEC website under "http://webstore.iec.ch" in the data related to
the specific document. At this date, the document will be
• reconfirmed,
• withdrawn,
• replaced by a revised edition, or
• amended.

INTRODUCTION
For the purpose of this part of IEC 60364 (IEC 60364-7-701) the requirements of the general
Parts 1 to 6 and Parts 8 of IEC 60364 apply.
The IEC 60364-7-7XX parts of IEC 60364 contain particular requirements for special
installations or locations which are based on the requirements of the general parts of
IEC 60364 (IEC 60364-1 to IEC 60364-6 and IEC 60364-8). These IEC 60364-7-7XX parts are
considered in conjunction with the requirements of the general parts.
The particular requirements of this part of IEC 60364 supplement, modify or replace certain of
the requirements of the general parts of IEC 60364 being valid at the time of publication of
this part. The absence of reference to the exclusion of a part or a clause of a general part
means that the corresponding clauses of the general part are applicable (undated reference).
Requirements of other 7XX parts being relevant for installations covered by this part also
apply. This part may therefore also supplement, modify or replace certain of these
requirements valid at the time of publication of this part.
The clause numbering of this part follows the pattern and corresponding references of
IEC 60364. The numbers following the particular number of this part are those of the
corresponding parts, or clauses of the other parts of the IEC 60364 series, valid at the time of
publication of this part, as indicated in the normative references of this document (dated
reference).
If requirements or explanations additional to those of the other parts of the IEC 60364 series
are needed, the numbering of such items appears as 701.101, 701.102, 701.103, etc.
In the case where new or amended general parts with modified numbering were published
after this part was issued, the clause numbers referring to a general part in this Part 701 may
no longer align with the latest edition of the general part. Dated references should be
observed.

701 Locations containing a bath or shower
701.1 Scope
The particular requirements of this part of IEC 60364 apply to electrical installations in indoor
or outdoor locations where a bath tub and/or a shower is intended to be permanently placed in
a specific location.
The extent of the location containing a bath tub and/or a shower is limited by:
– the lowest finished floor level;
– a horizontal plane 3 m above the lowest finished floor level;
– a vertical circumscribing virtual surface at a distance of 4 m from the fixed water outlet for
the bath tub or shower; and
– the volume within the walls, floor and ceiling that border the location containing a bath or
shower, measured to a depth of 6 cm.
NOTE 1 Where the shower head and flexible hose are detachable, the fixed water outlet is taken to be at the
supply end of the flexible hose.
The requirements of this document also apply to fixed electrical installations in mobile
applications, for example caravans, mobile homes, shower containers. This document does
not apply to emergency facilities, for example emergency showers used in industrial areas or
laboratories.
NOTE 2 For locations containing a bath or shower for medical treatment, special requirements can be necessary.

When applying this document, the zones specified in 701.30.102, 701.30.103, and 701.30.104
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 intended configuration.
Fixed partitions including horizontal or inclined ceilings, walls with or without windows, doors,
floors, 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, for example partitions having a height lower than 225 cm, the minimum distance in
horizontal and vertical direction shall be taken into account (see Figure 2 to Figure 9).
Shower curtains or equivalent flexible material shall not be used for limiting the zones.
Where a shower is located in zone 1 of a bath tub, the zones for a bath tub apply.
Where for showers there is more than one fixed water outlet, the limit of the zones to be
considered are those given by the combination of the zones.
701.30.102 Description of zone 0
Zone 0 is limited:
a) by the interior of a bath tub, see Figure 2 to Figure 4;
b) for showers:
– from the lowest finished floor level up to a horizontal plane at the height of 10 cm
above; and
– by a vertical circumscribing virtual surface at a distance of 120 cm from the centre of
the fixed shower head(s) and/or water outlet(s) limited by fixed partitions restricting the
water to enter into the area on the other side of the partition (see Figure 5, Figure 6,
Figure 7, Figure 8 and Figure 9).
