Building Regulations and Benchmark Commissioning
The Building Regulations (England & Wales) require that the installation of a heating
appliance be notifi ed to the relevant Local Authority Building Control Department.
From 1st April 2005 this can be achieved via a Competent Person Self Certifi cation
Scheme as an option to notifying the Local Authority directly. Similar arrangements
will follow for Scotland and will apply in Northern Ireland from 1st January 06.
CORGI operates a Self Certifi cation Scheme for gas heating appliances.
These arrangements represent a change from the situation whereby compliance with
the Building Regulations was accepted if the Benchmark Logbook was completed and
this was then left on site with the customer).
With the introduction of a self certifi cation scheme, the Benchmark Logbook is being
replaced by a similar document in the form of a commissioning check list and a service
interval record is included with all gas appliance manuals. However, the relevant
Benchmark Logbook is still being included with all Thermal Storage products and
unvented cylinders.
Gledhill fully supports the Benchmark aims to improve the standards of installation
and commissioning of central heating systems in the UK and to encourage the regular
servicing of all central heating systems to ensure safety and effi ciency.
Building Regulations require that the heating installation should comply with the
manufacturer's instructions. It is therefore important that the commissioning check
list is completed by the competent installer. This check list only applies to installations
in dwellings or some related structures.
