# The Smoke Control Areas (Exempted Fireplaces) Order 1984, Note: Explanatory note


Section 11 of the Clean Air Act 1956 empowers local authorities to declare the whole or any part of their district to be a smoke control area in which the emission of smoke is generally prohibited. Specified classes of fireplaces may be exempted from control by order.
This order, which applies to England and Wales, exempts the Parkray Coalmaster II fireplace manufactured by T.I. Parkray Limited and the Spacewarmer B200 and the Spacewarmer B500 fireplaces manufactured by Clean Air Systems subject to certain conditions as to installation, maintenance and operation.
The order replaces with modifications the Smoke Control Areas (Exempted Fireplaces) (No. 4) Order 1983, which is revoked. The changes are—
(1) Exemption is now given to Spacewarmer B200 and B500 fireplaces.
(2) New provision is made as respects the Parkray Coalmaster to take account of the existence of inset and free-standing models.
