True, but irrelevant. If anyone, be it a DNO, a water/gas supply complany, a builder or anyone else penetrates the perimeter of a property with something metallic which can, or may, introduce a potential (earth or otherwise), then it becomes an extraneous conductive part penetrating what is meant to be an equipotential zone.I can see the point, but bear in mind that as regards the supply system the DNO's are trained to operate that!
True, but agin irrelevant. Water and gas supply pipes don't form part of the installation, either, but they have to be bonded.Ponder on the full title of Bs7671, the incoming cable does not form part of the installation!
Kind Regards, John
