11. Amendments to
AS/NZS 3000:2000 - Damp Zones
AS/NZS 3000 has been amended to change the manner in which
damp zone measurements are taken for baths and showers and to
address minor technical corrections to sections 1 to 5 of the
document.
The damp zone changes are as follows:
- For a shower, or where a shower over a bath is provided,
all horizontal measurements must be taken from the fixed
plumbing connection of the shower. The measurement must not
take into account the length of any flexible shower hose.
- The new maximum height for Zone 1, is the either 2.25
metres from the floor, or the height of the fixed plumbing
connection, whichever is the higher.
- The maximum height for Zones 2 and 3 is 2.25 metres from
the floor.
- An IPX4 rating is required for luminaries above zones 1 and
2 to a maximum height of 3 metres from the floor.
Under the performance based regulatory system the amendments
to AS/NZS 3000 can now be applied.
The Board will provide copy of the amendment to all practising
licence holders with a future edition of ELECTRON.
