• Accessories, with the exception of sockets;
• Accessories, including sockets, of circuits protected
by low voltages using safety extra-low voltage (SELV¹)
or protective extra-low voltage (PELV²). The current
source must be located outside Areas 0 and 1;
• Shaving socket units according to DIN EN 61558-2-5
(VDE 0570-2-5);
• Accessories, including sockets for signal and commu-
nication technology resources, of circuits protected by
low voltages using safety extra-low voltage (SELV¹) or
protective extra-low voltage (PELV²).

Important protection requirements:
When using safety extra-low voltage (SELV¹), protection
against direct contact must be guaranteed, irrespective
of the nominal voltage level, through:
• Covers or wrapping with a protection rating of at least
IPX2 or IPXXB (protected against finger access) or
• insulation, which can withstand a testing voltage of
500 VAC for at least one minute.
SELV = Safety extra low voltage
PELV = Protective extra low voltage

The electrical resources must have at least the fol-
lowing protection rating:
• In area 0: IPX7
• In area 1: IPX4
• In area 2: IPX4
This requirement does not apply to shaver socket units
according to DIN EN 61558-2-5 (VDE 0570-2-5), which
are erected in Area 2 and where direct spraying during
showering is unlikely. Electrical resources which are sub-
jected to water jets, e.g. for cleaning purposes in public
baths, must correspond at least to protection rating IPX5
in Areas 1 and 2.

Pools of swimming baths and other pools are divided up
into areas, in which only certain devices may be installed.
Junction/connection sockets may not be erected in Area
0. In Area 1, only junction/connections sockets for cir-
cuits with protection through low voltages with safety
extra-low voltage (SELV¹) are permitted.
