Using pipe work to bond to incoming water

[yellowvanman]

In that case a copper heating pipe cannot be used as a main equipotential bonding conductor

Why? ...

Because it's not in the list in section 543.2.1

Would you? In particular when the bond is not a continuous conductor which may be liable to disconnection by other trades.

That relates to a protective conductor not a main equipotential bonding conductor. No body has said if they would happily use a copper heating pipe as part of a main equipotential bonding conductor. What code would anyone apply?

A main bond is a protective conductor.

You need to read exactly what is written in the regulations and not make assumptions.
The term protective conductor encompasses both cpc and all bonding conductors
