perspicacious: Too right, thats so "yesterday"! What are those little tags with a 2BA hole in the middle anyway?
Years ago, I understood the BS that sinks were made to, required the provision of said tag................... I haven't checked what BS number it is nor if it is still a requirement,
BOD is spot on!
BS 1244-2:1988 12 Earth terminal
Sinks shall be provided with an effective means of attaching a bonding conductor which shall be accessible to the electrician after the sink has been installed. This conductor shall be either a tag with a bolt size designation of M6, in accordance with BS 4190, (8.3 mm minimum) clearance hole or an M6 bolt or threaded stud. The tag, bolt or stud shall be protected during any enamelling process to ensure that a good electrical contact can be made.
The requirement (in less detail) goes back at least as far as 1956, but disappeared when the BS was superseded in 2003 by BS EN 13310.
