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. This can be achieved
via a Competent Persons Self Certification Scheme as an option to notifying the Local
Authority directly.
The Health & Safety Executive operates the ‘Gas Safe Register’, a self certification scheme for gas
heating appliances.
This company is a member of the Benchmark initiative and fully supports the aims of the
programme. Its aim is to improve the standards of installation and commissioning of central heating
systems in the UK and to encourage the regular servicing of all central heating systems to ensure
safety and efficiency. Building Regulations require that installations should comply with
manufacturer's instructions. It is therefore important that the commissioning checklist is completed
by the installer. The relevant section of Building Regulations only relates to dwellings. Therefore
the checklist only applies if the boiler is being installed in a dwelling or some related structure.
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 gas safe
engineer 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.
