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 ap-
pliances for use in smoke control areas in England. In Scotland and
Wales this power rests with Ministers in the devolved administrati-
ons 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 TermaTech TT22, TT22S have been recommended as suitable for
use in smoke control areas when burning wood logs and when fitted
with a smoke control kit to fix the primary air control at 250mm2
and secondary air control at 440mm2 in their minimum position
