Recessed Light fixture in bathroom need to be damp proof?

[Arcflasher]

Installing a recessed light in a washroom. I tried to find in the code if the light fixture need to be damp proof, but couldn't find it. I would assume I would need one considering the bathroom would be a damp location? Can anyone confirm? Thanks in advanced

IP44 rated one for general use and IP65 for inside shower enclosure will satisfy most scenarios.

I'm not too familiar with the Canadian Electrical Code, but it seems if the fixture is within a certain distance - what we in the UK call a 'zone', eg over the shower or within certain distance of bath or basin - then you must use 'damp proof' fixtures. But for elsewhere in a bathroom, ordinary fittings seem to be permitted.
I understand Code can vary a little province to province, so I guess you need someone local to confirm ?
Personally I would be using protected fittings.

It does have to be damp proof and it is required to be 3 feet from the inside of the tub
