Default Earth bonding on 16mm supply?

Morning,

During one of my investigations behind the kitchen sink, I found that the
earth bonding wires to the water pipe were detached (I blame the plumber).

I checked all bonding points and found that:

Earth bonding to gas, water and central heating is done with 10mm^s.
This connects to a block under the CU, and then via 10mm^2 to the earth
bar in the CU.

The supply (TN-C-S, I think) uses 10mm^2 earth and 16mm^2 L&N.
I was expecting these to all be one size fatter (16mm^2 earth and 25mm^2 L&N),
but maybe this is enough for a supply fused at 60A.

Does this sound compliant with current regs?

Gerd.
