Equipotential Bonding / Certification

Hi. Installed some bonding to water and gas at a property today. Not sure what to fill in on the Minor Works Certificate. Should i put a note of the resistence values obtained (0.04 Ohms) , then put N/A in the boxes for Zs, IR and RCD.

Cheers
Murphy

Hi. I have noticed that my house has no Equipotential bonding to the water. The supply enters the house in plastic ,then after the stoptap is copper. Could this be the reason its not bonded?

Hi, forgot to say that fittings supplied by customer, so straight change over. Does that require testing of the circuit as suggested?
