Abstract

These Regulations amend the Environmental Protection Agency Act (Registration of Coal Bagging Operators and Solid Fuel Suppliers) Regulations 2012 to refine certain elements of the verification and enforcement mechanisms for domestic solid fuels. These amendments include revised definitions and labelling requirements. They also provide for a national sulphur standard of two percent for all solid fuels intended for domestic heating outside the current ban areas and specify registration and application requirements for the Fuels Register established under Section 22A of the Air Pollution Act, 1987 (inserted by Section 24 of the Environment (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 2015).
