GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
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, commis-
sioned and serviced in accordance with
the manufacturer's instructions by com-
petent persons and that it meets the re-
quirements 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 refer-
ence.
Installers are required to carry out in-
stallation, commissioning and servic-
ing work in accordance with the Bench-
mark Code of Practice which is available
from the Heating and Hotwater Industry
Council who manage and promote the
Scheme. Visit www.centralheating.co.uk
