I am not getting a good sense about the actual requirements for grounding the raised floor system. I've read about recommendations but not hard, fast requirements. In a standard raised floor application, no computer rooms or heavy data equipment, I would bond to any column, and bond every ten feet to a floor pedestal. However, when a floor is used that doesn't have stringers but rather individual stand alone pedestals, what should one do? Do you have to bond to every floor pedestal?

If the metallic parts are not likely to become energized, and you are not worried about static buildup, then no bonding needed.
