Yes but that's nothing to do with main protective bonding of extraneous parts :mtongue: although it is part of ADS

Except main protective bonding of extraneous parts is in sec 411. This could go on all night, but suffice to say those with more intelligence than me, have bonded metal internal with plastic service. I'll just follow their lead.

Just seen an ECA survey which states only 6% of businesses surveyed are in full support of the 18th Ed changes, I could have saved them a lot of time and money with that.

i would say bonding a piece of metal not extraneous could introduce a shock hazard (during fault conditions in the installation) which might never have been there because it wasn't needed such as isolated from earth metal work

that's why any metalwork should be tested to determine if it's extraneous. 22kΩ

If you ever read they magazine professional electrician the NICEIC did an article about it but can't remember what month it was.
That's if anyone trusts the NICEIC view

Think this is supposed to be made more clear in the 18th edition
On the DPC it has a sentence along the lines of if there's an insulated insert before entering the property then no bonding is required

Might have to up my estimate to 145 posts at this rate.
