Waste wood fuel quality guidance is currently being finalised between BSL Administrators, BEIS & Ofgem. It is believed that the intent of the legislation was to not make waste wood exempt from fuel quality, but that where it is not controlled via the environmental regulatory body (EA, NRW, SEPA) through permits, then it is to be controlled using a quality management system. It is strongly recommended that anyone selling clean untreated waste wood or supplying fuel to any boilers with exemptions, they should have a quality management system in place by 1st April 2022
