Bathroom supplementary bonding question

Now that will be handy, my house (being the house that a sparks resides in) has no supplementary bonding to speak of!

Ah, OK.

But I thought it *wasn't* required to bond to the lighting cpc if you only have SELV lights now? (Or am I going round in circles here...)

By definition SELV (= *separated* extra low voltage) must be separated from earth [etc.]. So you certainly mustn't bond to the ELV side (but if you do it will no longer be SELV).

The strict interpretation is that it is not required if the transformers are not within the zones. However, it is as well to do it for the reasons already given and if it feeds any other equipment in the zones it will have to be bonded anyway.
