STATEMENT ON THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE CLEAN
AIR ACT 1993
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 Ariterm MultiJet appliance has been recommended as suitable for use in smoke control
areas when burning wood chip, wood pellet and waste wood fuels.
