General information on CAA and smoke control
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.
The KP12, KP22 and KP62 boilers have been recommended as suitable for use in smoke control areas when burning wood
pellet.

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.
