to metallic baths, unless the following two requirements are both met:
(i) all bathroom circuits, both lighting and power, are protected by
a 30mA RCD and
(ii) the bath shower located building with protective
equipotential bonding place described Fig. 14.Electrical installations and wiring systems

Telecommunications cables are Band circuits and must segregated
from Band circuits containing mains cables (IEE Regulations 528.

Zones for bath and shower rooms
Locations that contain bath shower are divided zones separate

Bathroom installations
Rooms containing fixed bath tub shower basin are considered area
of increased shock risk and, therefore, additional regulations are specified
in Section 701 the IEE Regulations. The regulations can summarized follows:
● Socket outlets must not installed and provision made for
connection portable appliances unless the socket outlet can be
fixed metres horizontally beyond the zone boundary within the
bath shower room (IEE Regulation 701.4). This reduce the risk electric
shock people circumstances where body resistance lowered because
of contact with water
