1. Please ensure that the installer has fully completed the
Benchmark Checklist on the inside back pages of the
installation instructions supplied with the product and that you
have signed it to say that you have received a full and clear
explanation of its operation. The installer is legally required to
complete a commissioning checklist as a means of complying
with the appropriate Building Regulations (England and Wales).
2. All installations must be notified to Local Area Building
Control either directly or through a Competent Persons
Scheme. A Building Regulations Compliance Certificate will
then be issued to the customer who should, on receipt, write
the Notification Number on the Benchmark Checklist.

safety, efficiency and performance. The service engineer should
complete the relevant Service Record on the Benchmark

the Home Information Pack.
13.3 Contact the Electricity Provider
1. Both the Distribution Network Operator (DNO) and your
Electricity Provider need to be informed that an electricity
generator has been installed at your address. Usually the
installer will inform the DNO. As the householder you should
notify the Electricity Provider and arrange for a feed-in tariff to
compensate you for the unused electricity that your appliance
has generated and fed back into the grid. If your electricity
meter does not already register reverse flows then the
provider will have to arrange for new metering.
