The Smoke Control Area (Exempt Fireplaces) (Scotland) Order 2003
Section 20 of the Clean Air Act 1993 (“the 1993 Act”) prohibits the emission of smoke in smoke control areas. The Scottish Ministers under section 21 of the 1993 Act may exempt specified classes of fireplace from the provisions of section 20, if they are satisfied that they can be used for burning fuel (other than authorised fuels) without producing any smoke or a substantial quantity of smoke.
