UK Bathroom scenario, what's your opinion.

[Daniel Oake]

Condition report for a house, no RCD protection on the lighting in the bathroom so Code 3; the bathroom had the radiator and sink earth clamped.

Long lead back to the MET and got a reading of 0.04ohms... brilliant right?
I submitted my report and got a phone call later and my boss told me because it's not bonded to a circuit within the bathroom the regs say it's not good enough.

Is this correct and if so are you seriously telling me that 0.04ohms back to the MET isn't sufficient enough?

If I'm wrong in any of this let me know and explain it please as I really do prefer a good discussion

Yes each circuit is required to connected together

If supplementary bonding is required then each circuit serving the location is required to have a connection between the cpc terminals of any class 1 and class 2 accessories/equipment and to any accessible extraneous pipework, water etc.
