Default Earth bonding regs

Yes there's lots of them depending what you are planning to do. Can
you be a bit more specific please.


I want to check and if necessary replace the main bonding of electrical
and rising main, gas etc.
At the moment I have a bond from rising main to (I assume) distribution
board.
Also it was 'bonded' to a very coroded ferrous pipe that appears to be
disused (old gas?)
So I wan t the docs that explain how all this lot should be joined or
otherwise together.


Where are they, part P doesn't seem that informative, or am I reading the
wrong document?

Again it depends on what you are planning to do.

The document in the link is indeed the bit of the "Building
Regulations 2000" that applies to "Electrical Safety - Dwellings".

Many people would say that "Part P" is the wrong document - full stop.

The requirements for earth bonding in electrical installations are set
out in "BS 7671:2001 (Amended 2004)" usually called the "IEE Wiring
Regulations 16th Edition".


Thanks.
