new boiler earth bonding

[scrumpyjack]

I'm having an outdoor oil fired boiler installed this year.

Will I need to have all the pipework in the house bonded to conform with the regulations or does it only apply to bathrooms??

I live by the rule "if its metal bond it"

but post this in the lectrics forum for one of the top sparkie boyos to put you right

All metal service pipes (gas, water, oil) within the house require main bonding to the earth terminal in your consumer unit within 600mm of entering the property on the consumer side of any meters/stopcocks with 10mm² g&y cable and suitable clamps.

Supplementary bonding takes place in the bathroom where all metal pipes are connected together and to the circuit protective conductors of all circuits within the bathroom using 4mm² g&y cable and suitable clamps.
