Hi, I have been reading about earth bonding in home electrical systems and on reading my installation report it says my supply in my new build home is TNCS. I was wondering if an CPC/Earth wire should be running to my gas or water pipework in this setup?

It appears to go to a metal block connector from the incomming supply and through the wall presummably to the indoor consumer unit, there isn't however any earth bonding in the gas meter box or on any pipework under the sink with the stop tap, just wondering if this system needs bonding to the pipework and whether it is normal?

Thank you, James.

only if its considered an extranous-conductive-part, or in plain english if pipes are plastic coming into the building it may not require it.
