Here is a question that I would love tp know your opinion on and honest answers if you do this or not.
Where there is full RCD protection in a domestic property or at least all circuit in the bathroom have RCD protection, how many of you carry out resistance testing on the exposed pipe work to see wheather or not is still requires supplementary bonding? This includes when doing a EICR or alteration and/or additions in a bathroom or just like for like replacements. Do you also carry out these tests for a rewire to check if it needs installing or did you think just by having rcd protection is wasn't required under the 17th edition?
I have asked a fair few qualified electrician about this and most have no idea that if the exsposed pipe work has a resistance of over 1667 ohms it requires supplementary bonding regardless of having full RCD protection.
Your honest answers please
