COMMISSIONING AND TESTING SIME SUPPORT THE BENCHMARK INITIATIVE bubbles. Close hot tap. All relevant sections of the logbook must be filled in at the time of installation and thereafter service information on the COMMISSIONING THE BOILER back page of the logbook. Commissioning of the boiler is not complete until the logbook is filled in.
FINAL CHECKS emphasise their responsibilities under the “Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1996 (as amended)”. – Re-light and test for gas soundness. – Explain and demonstrate the lighting and shutdown – Re-fit the casing front panel and securing brackets. procedures.

Failure to install and commission according to the manufacturer’s instructions and complete this Benchmark Commissioning Checklist will invalidate the warranty. This does not affect the customer’s statutory rights. If yes, and if required by the manufacturer, has a water scale reducer been fitted? CONDENSING BOILERS ONLY The condensate drain has been installed in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions and/or BS5546/BS6798 If the condensate pipe terminates externally has the pipe diameter been increased and weatherproof insulation fitted?
