Benchmark Checklist on the inside back pages of the
installation instructions supplied with the product and that you

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).

Scheme. A Building Regulations Compliance Certificate will
then be issued to the customer who should, on receipt, write

13.3 Contact the Electricity Provider
1. Both the District Network Operator (DNO) and your
Electricity Provider need to be informed that an electricity
generator has been installed at your address. Usually the
installer will inform the DNO. As the householder you should
notify the Electricity Provider and arrange for a feed-in tariff to
compensate you for the unused electricity that your appliance
has generated and fed back into the grid. If your electricity
meter does not already register reverse flows then the
provider will have to arrange for new metering.
