Under the Clean Air Act 1993 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.
Further information on the requirements of the Clean Air Act can be found here: http://smokecontrol.defra.

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 Memo pellet fuelled appliance has been assessed and is suitable for use in smoke control areas when
burning 6mm wood pellets and when operated in accordance with these operating instructions.
