Building Regulations and the Benchmark
Commissioning Checklist
Building Regulations (England & Wales) require notification of
the installation of a heating appliance to the relevant Local
Authority Building Control Department. From 1 April 2005 this
can be achieved via a Competent Persons Self Certification
Scheme as an option to notifying the Local Authority directly.
Similar arrangements will follow for Scotland and will apply in
Northern Ireland from 1 January 2006.
CORGI operate a Self Certification Scheme for gas heating
appliances.
These arrangements represent a change from the situation
whereby compliance with Building Regulations was accepted as
being demonstrated by completion of the Benchmark Logbook
(which was then left on site with the customer).
With the introduction of Self Certification Schemes, the
Benchmark Logbook is being withdrawn. However, a similar
document in the form of a commissioning checklist and service
interval record is incorporated at the back of these instructions.
This company is a member of the Benchmark initiative and fully
supports the aims of the programme. Its aim is 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 efficiency.
Building Regulations require that installations should comply
with manufacturer's instructions. It is therefore important that
the commissioning checklist is completed by the installer. The
relevant section of Building Regulations only relates to
dwellings. Therefore the checklist only applies if the appliance is
being installed in a dwelling or some related structure.
The flowchart opposite gives guidance for installers on the
process necessary to ensure compliance with Building
Regulations.

Safe Manual Handling
5
© Baxi Heating UK Ltd 2006
General
The following advice should be adhered to, from when first handling the boiler to the final stages of installation, and also during maintenance.
Most injuries as a result of inappropriate handling and lifting are to the back, but all other parts of the body are vulnerable, particularly shoulders, arms and hands.
Health & Safety is the responsibility of EVERYONE.
There is no ‘safe’ limit for one man - each person has different capabilities. The boiler should be handled and lifted by TWO PEOPLE.
Do not handle or lift unless you feel physically able.
Wear appropriate Personal Protection Equipment e.g. protective gloves, safety footwear etc.
Preparation
Co-ordinate movements - know where, and when, you are both going.
Minimise the number of times needed to move the boiler - plan ahead.
Always ensure when handling or lifting the route is clear and unobstructed. If possible avoid steps, wet or slippery surfaces, unlit areas etc. and take special care
on ladders/into lofts.
Technique
When handling or lifting always use safe techniques - keep your back straight, bend your knees. Don’t twist - move your feet, avoid bending forwards and
sideways and keep the load as close to your body as possible.
Where possible transport the boiler using a sack truck or other suitable trolley.
Always grip the boiler firmly, and before lifting feel where the weight is concentrated to establish the centre of gravity, repositioning yourself as necessary. See the
‘Installation’ section of these instructions for recommended lift points.
Remember
The circumstances of each installation are different. Always asses the risks associated with handling and lifting according to the individual conditions.
If at any time when installing the boiler you feel that you may have injured yourself STOP !!
DO NOT ‘work through’ the pain - you may cause further injury.
IF IN ANY DOUBT DO NOT HANDLE OR LIFT THE BOILER - OBTAIN ADVICE OR ASSISTANCE BEFORE PROCEEDING !!

• Some component parts of this appliance (insulation
pads, gaskets and rope seals) are manufactured from man-
made mineral fibre.
• Prolonged or excessive exposure to this material may
result in some irritation to the eyes, skin or respiratory
tract.
• It is advisable to wear gloves when handling these items.
• Irritant dust will only be released from the items if they
are broken up or subjected to severe abrasion. In these
instances a suitable dust mask and goggles should be
worn.
• Always thoroughly wash hands after installation,

3.0 Appliance Operation

3.1
1. Switched Live On: When the switched live switches
on if the flow temperature is less than the set point
then pump overrun occurs. When the switched live
switches on if the flow temperature is greater than the
set point then pump overrun occurs.
2. Pump On: The pump is on while the fan, spark
generator and gas valve are off. After 10 seconds if the
flow switch has made then fan pre-purge occurs. After
10 seconds if the flow switch has not made then anti-
cycle occurs.
3. Fan Pre-Purge: The pump and fan are on while the
spark generator and gas valve are off. After 5 seconds
ignition occurs.
4. Ignition: The pump, fan, spark generator and gas
valve are on. If a flame is detected then burner on
occurs. If a flame is not detected within 5 seconds and
less than 5 ignition attempts have been made then fan
purge occurs. If a flame is not detected within 5
seconds and 5 ignition attempts have been made then
ignition lockout occurs.
5. Burner On: The pump, fan and gas valve are on
while the spark generator is off. Flow temperature is
controlled by varying the fan speed (and thereby the
gas rate) to achieve optimum operation. If the flow
temperature is greater than the set point or the TRVs
all shut down then fan post purge occurs.
6. Fan Post Purge: The pump and fan are on while the
spark generator and gas valve are off. After 5 seconds if
the TRVs are not shut down then pump overrun
occurs. After 5 seconds if the TRVs are shut down then
anti-cycle occurs.
7. Pump Overrun: The pump is on while the fan, spark
generator and gas valve are off. After 1 minute anti-
cycle occurs.
8. Anti-cycle: The pump, fan, spark generator and gas
valve are off. After 3 minutes if the flow temperature is
less than the set point then pump on occurs. After 3
minutes if the flow temperature is greater than the set
point then pump overrun occurs.
9. Ignition Lockout: The pump, fan, spark generator
and gas valve are off. The boiler can only be reset by
manually using the reset button.
