Earth bonding to external gas meter within block of flats

Should never go through another property. Needs to be run from your fuse box to the gas meter.

It entails running a 10mm copper cable sheathed in green and yellow, between either the main earth terminal inside your DB (fuse box) or an MET located close to the DNOs metering equipment to the gas meter. This is for the provision of a fault path.

This needs investigating, Its most likely already bonded but the Gas engineer hasn't found it. also has the gas engineer made sure its not plastic because if it is it wont need bonding

on this situation you have to hire a qualified electrician to investigate this problem..you cant go just with someones advice who its not qualified on this field..probably gas pipe its earthed but you cant see that..proper qualified electrician mya give you proper advice

Firstly have an Eicr ( Electrical installation condition report ) completed, the inspector will be able to test if it needs bonding, we do a test to see if it is an extraneous conductive part, if it is, this bonding is used to reduce the magnitude of an electric shock during a fault by trying to equalise the potential between exposed and extraneous conductive parts. It shouldn’t go through another flat. Basically it is is essential to have if needed, if unsure get it tested, you can have a look at the incoming water in flats( usually) if you see a lot of PVC blue pipes it may not be needed, but the inspector should still conduct a test ( this could be done on it’s own)to make sure it’s not required. Hope this helps.
