Hello everyone,

we are currently building, and the electrician has installed a cable under our shower. The cable then runs up through the shower wall and through the exterior wall (outdoor light).

Now I’m wondering if this is actually allowed?
The electrician says it is.

So the cable lies on the base slab.
There will be screed and insulation on top of it, and plaster and tiles on the wall.
(The cable is chased into the masonry.)

By INSTALLATION ZONE, I mean the areas where cables are allowed to be laid. These zones also exist for other rooms, such as the kitchen, hallway, bedroom, and so on.
Try searching for it online.

As long as you don’t want to add an extra power outlet in the shower, everything is fine.

An electrical outlet has no place in a shower; the cable is completely irrelevant...

So how am I supposed to charge my smartphone while showering?
