agree  Tony M: Yes, an M6 screw / bolt etc. is very suitable for use in an earth bonding situation, so this is extremely likely; more context would have helped, though...

Explanation:
The M6 standard for calibrating stereo Peak programme meters A peak programme meter (PPM) is an instrument for indicating the level, loudness or volume of an electronic audio signal.

It was originally developed in 1938 by the BBC as a superior alternative to earlier types of meter, which were not much use for monitoring peak audio levels. There are nowadays many types of peak and quasi-peak indicating audio level meter, but this article confines itself to the BBC designs and their derivatives. Differences from UK practices are listed under National variants below.
