1. The Benchmark
Scheme
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 is installed, commissioned and serviced in
accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions by competent persons and
that it meets the requirements 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 reference.
Installers are required to carry out installation, commissioning and servicing
work in accordance with the Benchmark Code of Practice which is available
from the Heatinmg and Hotwater Industry Council who manage and promote
the Scheme. Visit www.centralheating.co.uk for more information.
