[QUOTE="Reeceyp123, post: 396881, member: 26527"] Hi, I am an electrician and I work for a housing society. I am on the dlf team rewiring properties. One of the electricians from the maintenance department asked me why I've bonded the gas at the meter because he's doing a periodic and he's classed it as c2 unsatisfactory and unsafe. The properties are flats and the meters are street level. I used to connect within 600mm of the pipe entering the building but my boss asked me to bond to the gas meter outside because the plumbers are failing to locate the clip and deeming it to be non compliant. My colleague says because the bonding is outside the equipotential zone it is dangerous and the same as non bonded. My boss is going mental because he won't sign off the periodic. My questions are (eventually). 1. Does this present a danger? 2. Is this non compliant to bs7671? 3. Should it be a c2 or c3 on a periodic? [/QUOTE]
