Gas and earth bonding

The electrician that visited my daughters house as part of the conservatory installation said she need the "gas and water" bonded in the garage.

Am I right in assuming that this means bonding the gas and water pipes together using the proper clamps and taking the earth back to the fuse box earth.

Are there any electrical tests involved ?

Not usually, particularly if you can simultaneously see all the cables and connections.

Probably - although it does depend on what is actually there now. There is a need for main equipotential bonding where metallic services eneter the house. So if that is where the gas and water feeds come in, and then that is probably what he was talking about.

Details here under the section on Bonding:

A basic continuity test would be worth doing.
