[QUOTE="Captain Kirk, post: 555930, member: 16492"] The 15th edition IEE regs required everything that did not move to be bonded - if it did move bond it just the same - this led to metal window frames and fireside tongs and pokers also being bonded. The 16th Ed was a complete reversal and required insulation as opposed to bonding - i.e kitchen sinks to be insulated from metal pipes and taps and not presenting a hazardous large area of bonded metalwork. Domestic Kitchen sinks to be insulation tested between metal pipes and taps for no earth connection. The cpc connection in the flex cord of a waste disposal in fortuitous contact with the sinks is deemed adequate bonding. The aim being not to introduce a large area of earthed metalwork exposed to touch [/QUOTE]
