Change it? Move it?

[Octopus]

This photo shows an Icon 15 which is just outside zone 1 above the shower. The fan is 230v - would you recommend its moved/changed or leave it as is?

Thanks

Ventilation equipment is permitted in zone 1 so long as it's suitable according to manufacturers instructions. 701.55

It is suitably IP rated, it is not in direct line of the shower spray, the installation seems compliant as far as the picture goes, I would leave it happy in the knowledge someone has done a good job.
Subject to the rest of the electrical side being compliant, isolators, RCDs, switching, protection, etc.

As long as RCD protected I wouldn't bat an eyelid. I may be concerned about its extract performance though depending on duct type, route, and length. Always suspicious of that when I see axials in a ceiling.

^^ yes, agree re the extract rate.... I did suggest replacing the fan with in line unit in the loft above...

Thanks for the input so far.

As is,looks tidy. Shower head is fixed,and bathroom does not look to be massive,so extraction may be fine.
Only problem i could see (using a telescope) is someone putting two legs of their ladder,in the bath or tray,when fiddling...otherwise,get yer soap-on-a-rope out of the van,and test it.

I've fitted a 230V extractor fan in zone 1 before now. It was at the far end of the bath to the shower on the only outside wall. The ceilings were concrete.

...otherwise,get yer soap-on-a-rope out of the van,and test it.

If your van's not already fully equipped, here's where to buy:
