11 Commissioning

11.8 Completion

GB: It is a requirement that the “Benchmark” Installation,

Commissioning and Service Record is completed and left with

the user.

IE: it is necessary to complete a “Declaration of Conformity” to

indicate compliance to I.S.813. An example of this is given in

the current edition of I.S.813.

11.9 Instruct the User

● Demonstrate, then instruct the User about the lighting

procedure and heating system controls operation.

● Advise that to ensure the continued efficient and safe

operation of the boiler it is recommended that it is checked

and serviced at regular intervals. The frequency of servicing

will depend upon the installation conditions and usage, but in

general, once a year should be enough.

● Draw attention, if applicable, to the current issue of the Gas

Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations, Section 35, which

imposes a duty of care on all persons who let out any property

containing a gas appliance in the UK.

● The user shall not interfere with or adjust sealed

components.

● It is the Law that any servicing is carried out by a

competent person approved at the time by the Health and

Safety Executive.

● Advise the user that, like all condensing boilers this

appliance will produce a plume of condensation from the flue

terminal in cool weather. This is due to the high efficiency and

hence low flue gas temperature of the boiler.

● Advise the user of the precautions necessary to prevent

damage to the system, boiler and the building, in the event of

the heating system being out of use during frost or freezing

conditions.

● Advise the user that the permanent mains electrical supply

SHOULD NOT be switched off, as the built in frost protection

and pump saver program will not operate.

● Advise the User if the mains electricity and gas are to be

turned off for any long periods during severe weather, it is

recommended that the whole system, including the boiler,

should be drained to avoid the risk of freezing.

NOTE: Sealed System: Contact your installation/servicing

company as draining, refilling and pressurising MUST be

carried out by a

competent person approved at the time by

the Health and Safety Executive.

● Leave these instructions and the ‘Benchmark’ Installation,

Commissioning and Service Record with the user.
