EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Regulations)


These Regulations, which extend to England only, consolidate the nine sets of regulations which previously declared fuels to be authorised fuels for the purposes of Part III of the Clean Air Act 1993.

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 Schedule 1).

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