BPG4 lists this under "Items worthy of note that do not warrant a classification code", assuming no signs of thermal damageWhat about old 6mm bonding ?
I think my parents house still has 6mm to the gas (I added 10mm to the water when I changed the board about 12 years ago)
What if the installation doesn't need any bonding because the gas and water are plasticEvening all,
My NIC inspector told me years ago "if there is no bonding in place, you're within your rights to switch off the electrical installation until works have been carried out!".... not sure if this is true?
When asked by a customer to carry out a job which you give a cost for before going to look at the works, whats your procedure if when you get to site there is no bonding where required?
Do you knock the juice off? Do you provide a quote to install bonding before carrying out any further works (this has been my go to)? Do you carry out the requested works and then advise and quote?
No way, no way can I see an NICEIC inspector saying that !About 15 years I heard an Niceic inspector tell an sparks to bond an aluminium door frame (no I’m not joking)
Then don't bond it...?What if the installation doesn't need any bonding because the gas and water are plastic
ExactlyThen don't bond it...?
I think the main point here (leaving aside the fact it's twaddle) is if you arrive anywhere and find an unsafe situation for any reason, it's going to mean extra work for a customer who will generally be highly suspicious you are just after extra beer money.My NIC inspector told me years ago "if there is no bonding in place, you're within your rights to switch off the electrical installation until works have been carried out!
