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
Northern Ireland appliances are exempted by publication on a list by the Department of
Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs under Section 16 of the Environmental Better
regulation Act (Northern Ireland) 2016. In Wales these are authorised by regulations made by
Welsh Ministers.
The Fireline Woodtec 5, 5 Wide and 5 Xtra Wide (5kW nominal outputs) 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.
