Hi All...
I've just upgraded a consumer unit for a client. In the process I did all relevant tests on circuits in order to produce a certificate.
The bonding to gas pipes was 10mm but the water bonding was only 6mm. I have informed the client that this needs upgrading to meet regs and even offered to do this at no extra cost (all part of the service)...
In the meantime they have had boiler issues and the engineer that fitted the boiler originally has attended. The client queried what I had said and the boiler engineer that apparently made this connection has told the client that it is sufficient.
If the client is resistant in having this done where do I stand on issuing a certificate? Can I still complete the certificate noting that it is only a 6mm bond? Perhaps add it in the notes?
I haven't asked when the boiler was fitted so perhaps it was compliant at the time?
Thanks
