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.

Summary of Contents for Meg Stoves Meg 5.0
- Page 1 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 Meg 5.0 / Sirius 600 Inset has been recommended as suitable for use in smoke control areas when burning wood.
- Page 2 Important Points This stove is a wood burner, only use wood and specifically wood recommended by the manufacturer (see “Operation” section for details of recommended wood). This stove is not an incinerator and should not be used to burn anything other than the manufacturers recommended fuel. Liquid fuels should never be used in any Meg stove.
- Page 3 Do not over fill the fire box, it is better to add smaller amounts of wood more often. Over filling the stove, or running it for prolonged periods of time with the air vent fully open, can result in over-firing, which entails an excessive build up of heat which can permanently damage your stove. It is recommended that you add kiln dried beech logs weighing around 1.2kg at approximately 45 minute intervals to achieve optimum efficiency and minimal emissions as per this stoves test results.
- Page 4 All surrounding plasterwork must be sound. Designed and hand built in England A specifically designed bracket is included with the Meg Stoves frame and must be chased into the wall to a depth of 10mm such that the bottom of the slip is 160mm Station Works below the bottom of the stove (excluding the trim).
