NZS6116:2006 Black EB Conductors

I have been told by another inspector that all the conductors of the equipotential bonding network need to be black.

I disagree and believe green yellow should be used in accordance with 3.4.3 and that black should be reserved for metalwork being used as an electrode and I assume this is to do with the electrode being a live part.

I'm pretty happy around my judgement here but just making sure I am not missing anything.

Correct that most EBCs must be green / yellow; with only those for metalwork that is an electrode of the appliance being black.
