Just want to know everyone’s approach to testing bonding within houses. I do a lot of EICRs, and I would say more times than not I can never get access to the water bond as the stopcock isn’t accessible. Now in this instance what I’ve been taught since my times been out is to test at any exposed copper, normally at the boiler. I would test from MET to the pipework and note my reading then I would disconnect the 10mm from the MET (with the power off) and the reading should go higher. There has been times but I’ve maybe had a reading of 0.12 ohms for example when doing the long lead test to exposed copper and then disconnected the 10mm which I’m assuming goes to the water from the MET and there’s been no change in the reading. When I’ve spoke with my boss he’s told me that it must be bonded as im getting this reading of 0.12, but is that right? Because surely if it was bonded when I disconnected the 10mm the reading would change? Just want to fully understand the ins and outs of bonding
