Bonding of conduit in kitchen floor

[Lagentium]

Bit of a debate today, advice please as regs book not possible to get in my hands until tomorrow. New job, apartments, in the kitchen there are 2 x 25mm conduits from an external wall to an island within the kitchen that is free standing, to be able to get the hob supply across and lighting with a spare in case any sockets are added at a later date. My question is, do these require bonding? Thanks in advance.

No, they require earthing.

If they are in good contact with earth(generally below the foundations) and meet the definition of an extraneous conductive part then They will require protective bonding to the MET

They cant be an extraneous conductive part by definition if they are part of the electrical system.
As Andy has said. They require earthing.

Also are they exposed to touch?

Have you tested the conduits to see if they are extraneous?
