Here's a worrying thought: This thread was started in 2006 with the question on kitchen sink bonding; that date is now closer to a point at which the 15th edition was still current, than it is to the present day

I presume you are referring to the craze at the time for bonding (i.e. earthing unnecessarily) every metal item.

The regulations in the 15th edition regarding bonding were virtually the same as they are now and the physics definitely haven't changed.


The mad fashion for bonding every metal part was then, as it is sometimes now, due to misreading and/or misunderstanding the regulations - and sheep. It has only ever been a requirement to bond extraneous-conductive-parts.



Thanks to, I think it was, Securespark for unearthing the 15th edition.
