    Don't think you can, i believe it is filled out when the installer commissions the boiler and left with the customer, I think its for the benefit of future servicers, wasn't aware it was a legal document.

    Good morning: The Benchmark Log isn't a legal document...it is an installation record/service log and part of broader scheme promoted by the Heating and Hot Water Industry Council http://www.centralheating.co.uk/index/fuseaction/site.articleDetail/con_id/7480
    Only the original installer can complete the installation section, other (or same) CORGI would fill in the service section annually. As a compromise, have the boiler serviced and have your CORGI complete a Gas Safety Certificate.

    Ask to see CIPHE (Chartered Institute of Plumbing & Heating Engineering)
