1.1 The Clean Air Act 1993 and Smoke Control Areas
Both appliances, the WS18 and WP18 comply with the requirements of the Clean Air Act 1993
and are suitable for installation in smoke control areas. The appliances meet the emissions
limits for particulate matter and NO
x
as stated by DEFRA. As such the emissions are within the
acceptable limit for the appliances to be used in installations wishing to claim the renewable
heat incentive.
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.
