Gas bonding

[ocsey]

Hi I work for a central heating company and have just had a call to ask why we didn't bond a customers gas when we installed his boiler , as this was done in 1988 i am sure that it wasn't a requirement at the time, even if his y plan was rewired......please help

im affraid to say the bonding must be installed to services gas oil water etc its a requirement and work on heating electrical is also notifiable under part P

Even if the work was done in 1988 it should still have been bonded.
There talks a 15th edition trained spark.
Get the bonding done, it'll be reet then.

1988 is a long time ago but the regulations have always required bonding of gas and water etc

 

[ocsey]

as it was an existing installation does this make a difference, now you cant touch anything unless the bonding is in place , thought it was not the same back then

 

[NMc]

Depends upon what electrical work you did at the time and what you put on the completion certificate

who's to say that the bonding wasn't in place in 1988, and has since been disconnected ? plumber, kitchen fitter, anything could have happened in 23 years.

There were no completion certs in 1988 ,I dont think so anyway ,
