Benchmark Commissioning & Warranty Validation Service Record It is a requirement that the boiler is installed and commissioned to the manufacturers’ To instigate the boiler warranty the boiler needs to be registered with the manufacturer within one month of the installation. The warranty rests with the end-user (consumer), and they should be made aware it is ultimately their responsibility to register with the manufacturer, within the allotted time period.
