Building Regulations and Benchmark Commissioning

The Building Regulations (England & Wales) require that the installation of a heating
appliance be notified to the relevant Local Authority Building Control Department.
From 1st April 2005 this can be achieved via a Competent Person 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 1st January 06.

CORGI operates a Self Certification Scheme for gas heating appliances.

These arrangements represent a change from the situation whereby compliance with
the Building Regulations was accepted if the Benchmark Logbook was completed and
this was then left on site with the customer).

With the introduction of a self certification scheme, the Benchmark Logbook is being
replaced by a similar document in the form of a commissioning check list and a service
interval record is included with all gas appliance manuals. However, the relevant
Benchmark Logbook is still being included with all Thermal Storage products and
unvented cylinders.

Gledhill fully supports the Benchmark aims 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 the heating installation should comply with the
manufacturer’s instructions. It is therefore important that the commissioning check
list is completed by the competent installer. This check list only applies to installations
in dwellings or some related structures.

1.1 INTRODUCTION

The arrangement of a typical BoilerMate A-Class SP Solar installation is shown
schematically below. The basic unit which is covered by these instructions incorporates
the Danfoss SH - E01 solar controller.

The appliance generally follows the principles of the standard BoilerMate A-Class SP
appliance but is fitted with a separate set of coils to allow it to accept the maximum
amount of heat available from the solar panels/controls. This is then used to
supplement the hot water system.

The operation of the appliance/solar system is controlled by a number of sensors. The
location and reference numbers of the various sensors is shown eg 2, S6.

Sensors S1/S2, S3, S4, S5 and S6 are connected to the appliance control PCB which
operates all the heating and hot water functions as the basic BoilerMate appliance.

Sensors T1, T2 and T3 are connected to the Danfoss controller and operate all the
solar functions.

SensorT3 provides a high temperature interlock
to de-activate the solar pump at a temperature
of 90ºC in the store.

Although sensors T1 and T2 are wired in to the
solar controller the cable provided for Sensor
T1 (3 metres long) may require to be extended
by the installer dependant on the location
of the solar panels/appliance. (2 x 0.75mm2
double insulated cable) up to a maximum total
length of 50 metres.

It is important that the installer checks the
hardness of the water supply and if this exceeds
200 ppm (mg/l) the factory fitted scale inhibitor
is ordered with the appliance at the time of
order to reduce the rate of accumulation of
scale in line with the requirements of the
Domestic Heating Compliance guide.
