▶ Never modify any parts for the flue gas routing.
▶ Ensure that flue pipes and gaskets are not damaged.
Installation, commissioning and servicing
Installation, commissioning and servicing must only be carried out by a
competent, registered gas engineer, such as a Gas Safe registered
engineer or British Gas engineer.
▶ Carry out a gas tightness test after completing work on gas-carrying
components.
▶ Only use original spares.
Electrical work
Electrical work must only be carried out by a qualified electrician:
▶ Before starting electrical work;
– Ensure that the electricity supply is safely Isolated and secured to
prevent inadvertent re-connection.
Information on safe isolation can be found in the Health and
Safety Executive guidance HSG85.
– Using test equipment approved to GS38 confirm that the
electricity supply is disconnected.

attention to any safety relevant action.
▶ Explain that modifications and repairs must only be performed by a
competent, registered gas engineer, such as a Gas Safe registered
engineer or British Gas engineer.
▶ Advise the user to have the system serviced annually by a competent,
registered gas engineer, such as a Gas Safe registered engineer or
British Gas engineer.
▶ Leave the installation instructions with the completed Benchmark
Checklist (or a certificate confirming compliance with IS 813, Eire

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 Hot water Industry Council who
manage and promote the scheme.
