Since the beginning of the year gaswork notification reuires you to ansere yes/no whether the benchmark was completed. A certificate will not be issued without you saying yes.
Under the GAS SAFETY (INSTALLATION AND USE) REGULATIONS 1998
esting of appliances

33. - (1) Where a person installs a gas appliance at a time when gas is being supplied to the premises in which the appliance is installed, he shall immediately thereafter test its connection to the installation pipework to verify that it is gastight and examine the appliance and the gas fittings and other works for the supply of gas and any flue or means of ventilation to be used in connection with the appliance for the purpose of ascertaining whether -

(a) the appliance has been installed in accordance with these Regulations;

(b) the operating pressure is as recommended by the manufacturer;

(c) the appliance has been installed with due regard to any manufacturer's instructions provided to accompany the appliance; and

(d) all gas safety controls are in proper working order.

Manufacturer states you must fill out benchmark, gsu stes you must follow manufacturers instructions. Need i go on?

I have not seen the question asking if the benchmark has been completed on the Corgi GWN, but then again not all boiler manufacturers are in the Benchmark Scheme, that is why I said it is not a law.

Unless he means: a white, hot-water cylinder

we should put up some notice or wiki that says it would help to give a clear description

The OP clearly says in his first post that he has a white hot water cylinder in his garage, but from the photos it looks green to me.
