practical need for supp bonding in bathroom

wallywombat over 5 years ago

Can anyone suggest a realistic scenario where supplementary bonding would be required in a bathroom or other 701 location? I'm failing to think of one, although I may be overlooking something blindingly obvious.

It can be omitted as long all three of these are satisfied: ADS in time; RCD present; any extr-c-p connected to main bonding.

If ADS can't be done in time by either MCB/RCD then its not legal anyway.

RCD has to be present anyway.

Water and gas pipes etc should already be main bonded if they introduce a potential.

Thank you very much for your reply Geoff. No, the light and heater don't have any exposed conductive parts. It just didn't sit well with me but I am very happy not to bond. I was thinking about Ions conducting electricity through water and going off at a tangent, I needed nudging back into reality, thanks again.
