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.
The ESSE 100SE Series has been recommended as suitable for use in smoke control
areas when burning dry wood logs in accordance with these instructions. Peat and other
unauthorised fuels must not be burnt in this appliance in smoke control areas.

Your local authority is responsible for implementing the Clean Air Act 1993 including
designation and supervision of smoke.

not contain asbestos products, it is possible that asbestos may be disturbed in existing
installations and every precaution must be taken.
