From memory 412.2.3.2 essentially says that you have to run and terminate a protective conductor to each accessory. I can't remember the exact wording but this is not just good practice, it is a requirement. That is presuming the installation is not under the supervision of someone who will ensure that these fittings will never be changed to class 1 pieces of equipment.

means of earthing (CPC) at every point on an installation (initial verification)....or words to that effect damion..

Im waiting for acceptance in the training forums but whilst I do I have a question. Ive always been told to earth things for example sockets that are not standard plastic but shinny nickel, I know you can get away with just using the lugs on a back box and the screws which are used to pull the socket face plate tight to the metal back box if the lugs are fixed however I still but an earth cable from the earth terminal on this back box to the earth terminal on the back of the socket juse because its good practice imo.

Switches maybe, but I hope thats not how your terminating sockets...!?

Appologies, I read your post a few times and was convinced that you were taking the earths to the back box, and then a tail to the socket face! serves me right for posting after a few speckled chickens! My bad.
