(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Smoke Control Areas (Authorised Fuels) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2013 (S.R. 2013 No. 205), to add two new fuels to the list of fuels declared to be authorised fuels, for the purposes of Article 2(2) of the Clean Air (Northern Ireland) Order 1981.
A further entry has also been included as a substitute for Ecoal briquettes (in paragraph 21 of the Schedule), due to a number of changes to the product.
These fuels are authorised as smokeless fuels for use in areas that have been designated by district councils as smoke control areas.
