Smoke Exempt Requirements

The Clean Air Act 1993 and Smoke Control Areas

Under the Clean Air Act local authorities may declare the whole or part of the district of the

authority to be a smoke control area. It is an offence to emit smoke from a chimney of a

building, from a furnace or from any fixed boiler if located in a designated smoke control

area. It is also an offence to acquire an "unauthorised fuel" for use within a smoke control

area unless it is used in an "exempt" appliance ("exempted" from the controls which

generally apply in the smoke control area).

The Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs has powers under the Act

to authorise smokeless fuels or exempt appliances for use in smoke control areas in

England. In Scotland and Wales this power rests with Ministers in the devolved

administrations for those countries. Separate legislation, the Clean Air (Northern Ireland)

Order 1981, applies in Northern Ireland. Therefore it is a requirement that fuels burnt or

obtained for use in smoke control areas have been "authorised" in Regulations and that

appliances used to burn solid fuel in those areas (other than "authorised" fuels) have been

exempted by an Order made and signed by the Secretary of State or Minister in the

devolved administrations.

Your local authority is responsible for implementing the Clean Air Act 1993 including

designation and supervision of smoke control areas and you can contact them for details

of Clean Air Act requirements

The eVolution Inset Wood burning stoves have been tested by GASTEC under the

PD6434 standard and have passed the emission requirements for exemption under the

Clean Air Act. Subsequently it has been exempt for use in smoke control areas when

burning wood only. Below are detailed operation techniques that must be adhered to

at all times when burning in a smoke control zone.
