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.)

You have to make a decision. If you want to install a lamp outside, the cable will have to run that way. Otherwise, you will need to relocate your lamp. Again, I wouldn’t worry about it. But I’m also quite pragmatic. On our boat, electrical wiring sometimes runs through areas where water can accumulate, and everyone is still fine. RCD (residual current device)! Karsten

Boats are built very close to the water and have wall thicknesses where you really cannot chase any cables. @blaupuma, sometimes I honestly wonder if you go to your mailbox without wearing a helmet.
