The Benchmark member scheme is a nationally recognised scheme placing responsibilities on both manufacturers and installers to ensure best practice in installation, commissioning and servicing of domestic hot water cylinders.
The Heating and Hotwater Industry Council (HHIC) is a member organisation committed to effectively driving, supporting and promoting the sustained growth of the UK domestic heating and hot water industry.
The Hot Water Association (HWA) is the leading body in domestic hot water storage. Its key objectives are to drive and promote the sustained growth and improvement of standards within the hot water industry.
The HWA Charter offers consumers the reassurance that the manufacturer will adhere to the following:
-
to supply fit for purpose products clearly and honestly described
-
to supply products that meet, or exceed appropriate standards and building and water regulations
-
to provide pre- and post-sales technical support
-
to provide clear and concise warranty details to customers.
The HWA members are independently audited to ensure independent governance supports the Charter principle of being clear and honest; not only do members have to comply with the Charter standards, they also have to show an external accreditor how they do it.
Founded in 1905, the Energy and Utilities Alliance (EUA) is a not-for-profit trade association that provides a leading industry voice to help shape the future policy direction within the sector.
EUA has seven organisational divisions, including HHIC and HWA amongst them. It also provides secretariat services to several other organisations within the sector. The Secretariat, located in the Midlands, provides a range of support services to help its members further develop their businesses.
