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 Ashdale
(FB2MF) has been
DEFRA
recommended as
APPROVED
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 25mm and the
tertiary air control should be fully
open and is prevented from closing
by a screw.
Further information on the requirements
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
for the appliance being installed correctly
and regular maintenance of the appliance
and flue system by a competent person.

Installation Instructions

Location of the unit

Clearances to non-
combustible materials
There is a recommended minimum
clearance of 150mm at each side of the
appliance. A clearance of 150mm is
required at the back of stove (if the rear
wall has a thickness of 200mm or more
this measurement can be reduced to
50mm) a minimum clearance of 300mm
is required above the appliance.
Clearances to combustible
materials
There must be a minimum clearance of
400mm at each side and 300mm at the
rear of the appliance from any
combustible materials. If using single
wall flue pipe, there must be a clearance
of at least 3 times the diameter of the
flue pipe (e.g. 125mm diameter pipe =
375mm minimum clearance) from any
combustible materials e.g. wooden
beam.
Curtains and soft furnishings should be
a minimum of 1m away from the
appliance.
Adequate space should be provided for
servicing the appliance.

fireproof hearth with a minimum
thickness of 12mm. The hearth

below 100˚C. The hearth must protrude
at least 300mm in front of the appliance
and 150mm either side of the appliance.
The appliance shall be installed on a
floor with an adequate load bearing
capacity. If an existing construction
doesn't meet with prerequisite, suitable
