New CU but no water bonding...

[telectrix]

sometimes you canfind a cold water pipe in an easier location to bond. in that case, it could be noted as a departure, as long as a R2 test confirmed that said bond had an acceptable resistance to the pipe where you'd have liked to bond ( i.e. close to the point of entry ).i done that with the gas here. as the main gas pipe passess next to the CU. the entry point is 10yards away in the attached garage.

I think departure example would be design engineer had specified some bit of kit that was not BS XYZ but had certified that it was equivalent or better than the required BS.

ii) Fault protection shall be afforded in accordance with the requirements of section 411.

If I'm completely off target, please feel free to tell me, I'm here to learn. As far as I'm aware, if you can't guarantee you electrical services, are not in close proximity with other services, section 411 applies?

Yes but that's nothing to do with main protective bonding of extraneous parts :mtongue: although it is part of ADS
Chapter 54 deals with protective bonding
