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).
In England appliances are exempted by publication on a list by the Secretary of State in accordance
with changes made to sections 20 and 21 of the Clean Air Act 1993 by section 15 of the Deregulation
Act 2015. Similarly in Scotland appliances are exempted by publication on a list by Scottish Ministers
under section 50 of the Regulatory Reform (Scotland) Act 2014. In Wales and Northern Ireland these
are authorised by regulations made by Welsh Ministers and by the Department of the Environment
respectively.
The Purevision LPV 5, 5kW and LPV 8, 8kW stoves have been recommended as suitable for use in
smoke control areas when burning wood logs. This is conditional upon fitting the supplied secondary
air control limiters and following the wood burning instructions precisely.
Suitable Authorised fuels
can also be used in the appliances in Smoke Control Areas (see Authorised fuel list

http://smokecontrol.defra.gov.uk/. 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.
