We believe that including such a provision risks being excessively burdensome or possibly misleading. The RHI requirement is that the equipment is maintained in line with manufacturer instructions. All products and installations under the RHI are covered under the Microgeneration Certification Scheme, which requires the provision of manufacturer instructions.<\/p>
In our Government response to the RHI consultation in February 2013 \u2018Providing Certainty, Improving Performance\u2019 we set out our plans to introduce air quality emissions limits. Following this, air quality limits were introduced to the non-domestic RHI in September 2013, and the domestic RHI April 2014. We remain committed to reviewing these limits in the future.<\/p>
Biomass boilers 1-50MW are covered under the Medium Sized Combustion Directive which is currently under negotiation in the EU. Defra, as lead department on air pollution, has been consulting on an ongoing basis with a number of stakeholders on a range of matters relating to these proposals. For boilers up to 500KW, emission limits were agreed as part of EU Ecodesign Regulations following stakeholder consultation.<\/p>"}

The risk of transmission occurring within the community in the UK is, and remains very low due to the range of robust measures that have been put in place including screening. However, we keep the screening programme under regular review and will take into account any significant changes in the factors underpinning this assessment.<\/p>
