Gas Safety Certificate

 

Time spent explaining to several and diverse others the annual Gas Safety Certificate / Protective Equipotential Bonding tick box. 

I have little grasp of the significance and consequence of Protective Equipotential Bonding (PEB). Or indeed, what is the PEB. 

Also, now I am warming to my subject, why is PEB marked as Pass on certificates 2022-23 and 2023-24. But Fail on certificate 2024-25. 

I do not know. Having further questioned this anomaly with the Inspecting Engineer by email, the answer seems to be that last March they couldn't see it.

This led to me following Teach-Yourself-Gas-Engineering on YouTube. I think the PEB is something to do within 600mm of the meter. A sight, indeed, not visible at the boiler. Visiting the meter would require walking downstairs to look at it.

Regardless, I have now furnished several and diverse others with inadequate and uninformed responses that failed to sounded authoritative and will come back to haunt me a week on Tuesday.

Not a day where time was well spent, I'd say.

Farnham Park Surrey

 

Medieval deer park. Saw no deer. But did see walkers.
