[QUOTE="green-hornet, post: 77664, member: 2683"] I have wired a few commercial kitchens in my time and some industrial food prep areas. Most are in stainless steel and bonding was carried out on all work surfaces, lighting trunking, and so forth. Given the new regulations 17th and additional protection required for cables buried less than 50mm, it would be fair to say that providing all conditions are met there would be no need to supplementary bond. However I agree that most older installations that whilst not up to the current regulations, should be supplementary bonded to acheive the required protection and disconnection times as per the regulations. My theory? if in doubt bond it out. However be carefull not to raise any potential higher than it was before you bond. [/QUOTE]
