If you cannot prove it isn’t then yes.
Turn it on it’s head, would it be correct not to?
Ah but you originally (#17) said it's sometimes easier to bond it than to prove it, implying that you wouldn't bother testing.

no.the 22k ohms is to prove whether or not a piece of copper /metal pipe is extraneous or not.I think you will find that it says "if the water / gas pipe enters the house is of plastic construction, and the rest of the pipework is copper, then this copper must be bonded, are we not getting our wires crossed with the > than 22Kohms refers to supplementary bonding, not main bonding, open for discussion?
Agree but is also used to prove that something is "extraneous" the pipework should be main bonded, but not bonded because it may be or maybe not classed as extraneous.no.the 22k ohms is to prove whether or not a piece of copper /metal pipe is extraneous or not.
In respect to your classic plastic incomer, sometimes it’s easier to bond it (the copper pipe work) than it is to prove it isn’t extraneous.
But then the situation could arise, as spinlondon stated in #9.
I don’t bother with the OSGs, as they contain so many errors.
Are you stating that the OSGs recommend bonding non-extraneous conductive-parts?
Unfortunately, that is not possible.But it does contain some pretty pictures for us plebs.
Have a shufty yourself, it talks about it on pages 44 & 46 in the yellow version.
Unfortunately, that is not possible.
I only have a brown 16th and a red 17th someone gave me.
My point is however, BS7671 requires protective bonding for extraneous conductive-parts, not for non-extraneous conductive-parts.
