EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Regulations.)


These Regulations, revoke and re-enact with amendments the Smoke Control Areas (Authorised Fuels) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1999 which previously prescribed authorised fuels for the purposes of the Clean Air (Northern Ireland) Order 1981.

The Regulations take account of changes in the name, composition, method or place of manufacture or the manufacturer of certain authorised fuels, and omit other fuels which are no longer manufactured or sold. Certain additional fuels are authorised (see regulation 2 and the Schedule).

A savings provision ensures that stocks of authorised fuels manufactured before these Regulations came into operation remain as authorised fuels (see regulation 3).
