Under the Clean Air Act local authorities may declare the
whole or part of the district of the authority to be a smoke

ted 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).
In England appliances are exempted by publication on a
list by the Secretary of State in accordance with changes
made to sections 20 and 21 of the Clean Air Act 1993 by
section 15 of the Deregulation Act 2015. Similarly in Scotland
appliances are exempted by publication on a list by Scot-
tish Ministers under section 50 of the Regulatory Reform
(Scotland) Act 2014.
In Northern Ireland appliances are exempted by publication
on a list by the Department of Agriculture, Environment and
Rural Affairs under Section 16 of the Environmental Better
regulation Act (Northern Ireland) 2016.
In Wales appliances are exempted by regulations made by
Welsh Ministers.
