Manufactured pools and hot tubs

[OK Sparky 93]

After watching Mikes videos and having a better understanding, I still have questions/ concerns.
If a body of water, such as a pool or tub of any type, is to have perimeter bonding, what about all of the consumers that are purchasing hot tubs and placing in there patios.
How does one go about implementing that perimeter bond.

I am only assuming, in the case of the hot tub, that if it is listed and self contained, that the water is bonded. However I do not know.
Just trying to increase my knowledge and be a little smarter.

Look at 680.42(B). Odds are that the rim is above 28"

Equipotential bonding of perimeter surfaces in accordance
with 680.26(B)(2) shall not be required to be provided for spas
and hot tubs where all of the following conditions apply:
(1) The spa or hot tub shall be listed, labeled, and identified
as a self-contained spa for aboveground use.
(2) The spa or hot tub shall not be identified as suitable only
for indoor use.
(3) The installation shall be in accordance with the manufacturer’s
instructions and shall be located on or above
grade.
(4) The top rim of the spa or hot tub shall be at least 710 mm
(28 in.) above all perimeter surfaces that are within
760 mm (30 in.), measured horizontally from the spa or
hot tub. The height of nonconductive external steps for
entry to or exit from the self-contained spa shall not be
used to reduce or increase this rim height measurement.

Dennis, what makes a 30” nonconductive hot tub, different than a 42” nonconductive swimming pool? Is it because the pump and equipment is outside in the elements?

Does the metal parts within 5’ of both apply as far as EPB?
