gas/water mains earthing?

[krissiboy]

Another sparky told me lately that when you change a consumer unit then you must upgrade the earthing to the gas and water mains if needed. It's a bugger if they're at the other end of a house.
Has anyone else heard this? Surely you could only advise a customer on this and not force them into any additional work. A periodic report should cover your back. Am I right.

Can't add much else to what's been said about the bonding issue, but would reinforce Tels comment about being sure to use correct terminology. If you ever think you might want to take 2391, be aware that a major causal factor for the high failure rate in this exam is the use of incorrect or outdated terminology.

I couldn't agree more.

This is exactly why I failed my 2391.

Very greatful for all advice given.

There are a lot of questions that we all have about BS7671. On this matter alone have learned and have taken in all what's been said.

I will no doubt have more questions for you all in the very near future.

Thanks.
