Benchmark places responsibilities on both manufactur-
ers and installers. The purpose is to ensure that custom-
ers are provided with the correct equipment for their
needs, that it is installed, commissioned and serviced in
accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions by com-
petent persons and that it meets the requirements of
the appropriate Building Regulations. The Benchmark
Checklist must be used to demonstrate compliance with
Building Regulations and must be left with the customer
for future reference.
Installers are required to carry out installation, commis-
sioning and servicing work in accordance with the
Benchmark Code of Practice which is available from the
Heating and Hotwater Industry Council who manage
