The Benchmark Scheme

Benchmark places responsibilities on both manufacturers and installers. The purpose is to ensure that customers are provided with the correct equipment for their needs, that it is
installed, commissioned and serviced in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions by competent persons and that it meets the requirements of the appropriate Building
Regulations. The Benchmark Checklist can be used to demonstrate compliance with Building Regulations and should be provided to the customer for future reference.

Installers are required to carry out installation, commissioning and servicing work in accordance with the Benchmark Code of Practice which is available from the Heating and
Hotwater Industry Council who manage and promote the Scheme. Visit www.centralheating.co.uk for more information.

Building Regulations and the Benchmark Commissioning Checklist

Building Regulations (England & Wales) require notification of the installation of a heating appliance to the relevant Local

Authority Building Control Department. From 1 April 2005 this can be achieved via a Competent Persons Self Certification

Scheme as an option to notifying the Local Authority directly.

In England and Wales the electrical installation of an Ecogen appliance is notifiable under the current Part P building regulations.
