6.13.2.4 Roofs, gutters, down pipes and waste pipes
If a building is connected to an electricity supply, the roof(s), gutter(s), down pipe(s) and waste pipe(s) shall be bonded and earthed and the resistance of the earth continuity path shall not exceed 0,2 Ω, unless
b) the supply uses an underground service connection,

Is this new ? I thought any metal roof house must be earthed ? Metal downpipe etc bonded.

And the answer to my question about the carport

6.12.3.2 The following conductive parts do not need to be earthed:
g) structural steelwork, including items such as fire escapes and cat ladders; and

The carport has no electricity near it.
