I know that suppementary bonding has been done to death but we're in the
process of selling our house and the purchasers have had an electrical
inspection. One of the items uncovered is 'No supplementary bonding found
in bathroom' which he has classified as 'requires urgent attention'. The
purchasers are using this as a lever on price.



I've just fished out my copy of the 16th edition regs which classifies
this shortcoming as 'requires improvement' but can anyone tell me whether
this classification changed in the 17th edition regs?



Any insight greatly appreciated.

The main change with the 17th edition is that the supplementary bonding may
be omitted in bathrooms if

1. The main equipotential bonding meets current standards.
2. All electrical circuits to the bathroom have 30mA RCD protection.

It is your call as to how you wish to meet the regs (16th or 17th) if the
buyer is playing up.
