Discuss New Gas meter fitted at factory - Earth Bonding Q in the Industrial Electricians' Talk area at ElectriciansForums.net

I had a similar thing at my house when my meter needed replacing. Told him the reg specified 'on entry to building'. He disagreed. I told him to do one.

(once he'd turned my gas back on!)
 
A plumber I worked with said the same. The gas regs say it has to be at the meter. He put on his gas cert that it didn't comply being at point of entry.
Yep I think they've had some 'training' on this. So now when they change a meter, instead of ripping off the earth clamp & cable and leave it dangling in the wind, they're demanding to see the camp & earth on their gas pipe in the meter box.
