Main Equipotential bonding

[Spider-me]

Please if anybody can help where in the BS7671 does it state who is responsible for ME bonding on a new Instalation (barn convertion to ho;iday flats)

What do you mean by "who is responsible"?

 

[davesparks]

The person designing the installation is responsible for designing it.

The person installing it is responsible for installing it.

The person inspecting and testing it is responsible for inspecting and testing it.

 

[Meggerman]

The person designing the installation is responsible for designing it.

Did you leave it for the plumbers to connect up?

Seen a few houses now that had a 10mm2 earth wire run all the way from the MET to under the sink, but never actually attached to the pipe as presumably it had been left for the plumbers to sort out or something.

Not sure how they managed to pass them on the inspection and testing.... probably got the plasterers to do that or something.

I've seen plenty of earths in new houses just ran up to pipes and no clamp...

So Spider-me, what has lead you to ask this question?

Are you by any chance an electrician/client/site agent/other involved in a dispute?

I encountered one a while back where the main gas bond ran from the MET through the wall outside to the meter, from here it was just shoved in to the mud about 1 foot deep next to the meter box.

Who needs clamps, just bare the end and insulation tape it to the pipe...

Bs 7671 doesnt state who is responsible....it states what is required.
Whoever carried out the installation would be responsible for complying with bs 7671.

 

[Engineer54]

Or, ....to a certain extent, whoever carried out any work on the installation last!!

So if the OP has undertaken any work on the installation knowing that main bonding wasn't in place he would take on at least a good portion of that responsibility of the installation NOT complying with BS 7671!!

 

[SPARTYKUS]

I surveyed a house this week with no bonding conductors to the gas and water at all. Not seen that for a while.
