(This note is not part of the Regulations)
Section 11 of the Clean Air Act 1956 makes the occupier of a building within a smoke control area guilty of an offence if smoke is emitted from the chimney of that building, unless it can be proved that the emission of smoke was caused solely by the use of an authorised fuel. These Regulations, which apply to England and Wales, declare Calco Cosycoke to be an authorised fuel.
