another main earth bonding question

[gap30]

Hi guys. I've just completed a bathroom installation where there were no main earth bonds to the water or LPG ( bottles ) which fed a cooker in the kitchen. I ran new 10mm cables to both supplies as I understood this to be the regs but however the customer has took it on herself to ring trading standards and then the niceic to see if this really needed to b carried out and to my surprise the niceic have told her that the LPG didn't need bonding as it wasn't connected to a boiler!? I thought I was doing the right thing here so I am now confused and out of pocket!!!!!

grrr! the cheeky b~tch most RAF sparks would not have bothered, you was doing your job, go back rip it out and have a weigh in!

Personally Id always bond any services coming into a property because it's covering my back regardless of external influences or not, which is why I'm very surprised about her comments regarding her conversation with this guy from the niceic.!!!!!!

What have 'external influences' got to do with bonding requirements?

And how would bonding a service that might not meet the definition of an extraneous-conductive part 'cover your back'?

Looks like it, I think the earthing and bonding section is written in Urdu.
