metal balustrade /hand rail bonding

Newfutile

during an inspection and subsequent Consumer Unit change i have found the above to be bonded .

i have not checked this to see if its an extranous conductive part.

my thoughts are in a pen fault ,this could all become live  to some degree.

is the risk and results of this lower than no bonding at all?

    It seems we are harking back t 15th Edition somehow?

    Yes, there are situations where an internal balustrade in contact with the general mass of earth would require bonding ... and perhaps as an extension an external staircase, but I need to ask a very important question.

    This is about the fact that it's an 'inspection'.

    • What information is there about this balustrade?
    • Is it 'internal' or on an upper floor of the premises?
    • What design information is there from previous works (and why it was bonded)?
    • Have there been any consultations with the EAWR duty holder?
