• DO NOT stretch or rotate the Logo, change its colour, add a border, or personalise its appearance.
• DO NOT place the Logo on bright colours, especially if these are similar or clashing with those used in the Logo itself.

Guidance for wholesalers/retailers

The wholesaler/retailer is responsible for storing the product so that it does not compromise the fuel (separate guidance is available) and ensuring that the accredited supplier’s Ready to Burn Certification Logo is clearly displayed.

If you have certified products from more than one supplier, then please make sure that the relevant Ready to Burn Certification Logo is used against the correct product.

You will find further details in the brand guidelines linked above.

If you have not received your certification logo or have any queries about using the Ready to Burn certification logo, please contact Woodsure for wood fuel or HETAS for MSF.

The Biomass Suppliers List (BSL) is a list of woodfuel that has proven it meets the eligibility requirements for the Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) scheme. It allows RHI participants to easily demonstrate to Ofgem that the fuel they are using in their biomass boilers meets the sustainability criteria required to claim their RHI payments.

The BSL Authorised Mark can only be used in conjunction with authorised fuel(s) and must only be used in green, grey shades, or black colours.

See the BSL brand guidelines for full details and correct use.
