"In fact it is quite a poor example of bonding, as a fly lead in a back box is earthing"
Please explain your understanding of the differences between earthing and bonding as they apply within an installation final sub circuit as opposed to at incoming supply connection.
what reg. no.is that?"and a metallic back box for a flush-mounted socket-outlet is deemed to be an exposed-conductive-part (even though it may not be able to be touched)."
this is a direct qoute from the BS 7671
A metallic back box for a surface-mounted socket-outlet is an exposed-conductive-part, and a metallic back box for a flush-mounted socket-outlet is deemed to be an exposed-conductive-part (even though it may not be able to be touched). Therefore, such back boxes, no less than every other exposed-conductive-part, are required to be earthed in accordance with Regulations 411.4.2 (TN systems) and 411.5.1 (TT systems) of BS 7671.
