Sorry, but 2.5mm² will not be acceptable as a bonding conductor.
6mm² is the minimum, and where PME conditions apply, 10mm² is the minimum.
However, I would also suggest you determine the requirements of your supplier, as they may require 16mm².
 
This actually illustrates the problem very clearly There should be ONE set of rules which everyone works to. It used to be the IEE regs which had only one "current" edition which encompassed everything electrical, we now have a hopeless mish mash of guidlines ammendments and explanatary notes issued by organisationd which are actually in financial competition with one another, oh boy am I glad to be out of it after 40 years!!

There is one set of rules bs7671 2008 amendment 1!

As for there is no difference for earthing and bonding.....
Your on your own there.

Some people simply just won't listen

Cheers and gone

As said by Rich.250, there is only one "current edition" and each new edition is issued because of improvements for safety. Things change, even the IEE. Isn't it the IEEE now?
