Benchmark Service Record
The service engineer must complete the Benchmark
Service Record at the back of this manual after each

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 it 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 Heating and Hot water Industry Council who
manage and promote the scheme.
