I am in the process of getting a Ohme home charger fitted and they have asked me to do an evaluation of the services to my home. They pointed out my external gas meter fitted 2 years ago is NOT bonded.
Given it was British Gas engineer that installed the meter, surely they should have bonded the gas meter?? He will have been a qualified sparky, so he was NOT following the Regs??

Well, not according to the installation company. EV chargers are a different story entirely, and the meter requires bonding, external or not. Maybe you are a bit behind with the Regs??

I dont think it makes any difference really. I suppose when they install the Ohme charger they will do it to spec.
I did have to be De-Looped from my neighbours power. But we both now have a 3-phase supply. Cant do anything with it really. We need a smart meter for 3 phase. It would be nice...lol.

Within 600 mm wherever practical iirc
No. You have misread the regulation.
That only applies to internal meters and is actually the wrong place electrically.
Point of entry where practicable.
A terrible publication. Throw it away.
I’ve only recently got it. Why is it terrible?
There are many mistakes in it.
Plus, it usually gives the worst case scenario to cover all eventualities for those who know no better.
For example:
Just not true. Plenty more.

And then get another copy next year for my CPS surveillance visit. NO
It can collect dust on my shelf

Mr GSR will state that the bonding HAS TO BE at the meter
