Benchmark Scheme
Charlton and Jenrick Ltd is a licensed member of the Benchmark Scheme which aims to improve the
standards of installation and commissioning of domestic heating and hot water systems in the UK
and to encourage regular servicing to optimise safety, efficiency and performance. Benchmark is
managed and promoted by the Heating and Hotwater Industry Council. For more information and

Please ensure that the installer has fully completed the Benchmark Checklist on the inside back
pages of the installation instructions supplied with the product and that you have signed it to say
that you have received a full and clear explanation of its operation. The installer is legally required to
complete a commissioning checklist as a means of complying with the appropriate Building
Regulations (England and Wales).
All installations must be notified to Local Area Building Control either directly or through a
Competent Persons Scheme. A Building Regulations Compliance Certificate will then be issued to
the customer who should, on receipt, write the Notification Number on the Benchmark Checklist.
This product should be serviced regularly to optimize its safety, efficiency and performance. The
service engineer should complete the relevant Service Record on the Benchmark Checklist after
each service.
The Benchmark Checklist will be required in the event of any warranty.
It is a requirement that the gas fire is installed and commissioned to the manufacturer’s instructions
and the data fields on the commissioning checklist completed in full.
To instigate the guarantee, the gas fire needs to be registered with the manufacturer within one
month of the installation.
To maintain the guarantee, it is essential that the gas fire is serviced annually by a Gas Safe
registered engineer. The service details should be recorded on the Benchmark Service Interval
Record and left with the householder.
