    21.09.04 Bonding

    All exposed metallic parts of the chimney shall be bonded to the downconductors. Such parts shall include ladders, balconies, conduits, etc. If themetal has considerable length, it shall be bonded at each end. If themetallic components are composed of electrically discontinuous parts, eachpart shall be bonded to the down conductors. The bond shall have aminimum cross sectional area equal to that of the down conductor.

    21.09.05 Joints

    The joints in the lightning conductors shall be kept to a minimum and thereshall be no joint in the underground portions of conductors. All joints, exceptthose for the air terminals, shall be done by arc welding process.Overlapping of the conductors at straight joints shall not be less than 150mm.
