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

CO Alarms

It is required by Building Regulations that

whenever a new or replacement

wood/solid fuel or biomass appliance is

installed in a dwelling a carbon monoxide

alarm to BS EN 50292:2002 must be fitted

in the same room as the appliance.

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 Langdale

(FB6WB) has been

SMOKE

recommended as

EXEMPT

suitable for use in

smoke control areas

when burning wood,

as such, when the secondary air

slider is in the closed position it

remains open by ??mm and the

tertiary air control should be fully

open and is prevented from closing

by a screw.

of the Clean Air Act can be found here:

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 alarm should be installed according

to the alarms manufacturers instructions

and should not be considered a substitute
