Specifications

Benchmark the code or practice for the installation commissioning & servicing of central heating systems since 1999.

Central heating systems today are extremely sophisticated, designed to be energy efficient and provide a reliable quality service to their owners. Providing, it has been installed by a competent installer and installed to the manufacturer’s instructions, it will provide good service for many years.

To ensure this the industry introduced ‘Benchmark’. A new code of practice for the installation, commissioning and servicing of central heating systems. Since October 1999 all new boilers have their own Central Heating Log Book. This has to be filled out by the installer who has to write his CORGI registration number in The Log Book. It is illegal for anyone who is not CORGI registered to work on a gas-fired central heating system or appliance. All CORGI registered installers carry a CORGI identification card that you should ask to see before he starts work. You can always check an installer’s details by calling CORGI for confirmation on 01256 372300. The warranty on the boiler may be invalid if the log book is not completed properly. Should you require any further information on Bencmark call 0845 6002200.

The logbook should contain;

  • Customer details.
  • Installer details.
  • Appliance and control details.
  • System flushing, cleanser used and if required, inhibitor and antifreeze.
  • Appliance working gas inlet pressure.
  • Burner operating pressure.
  • Heat input.
  • Temperature differential between flow and return.
  • Performance testing results using a combustion analyser.
