Process guidance notes
The Process Guidance (PG) notes below are issued by the
Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs under
regulation 37 of the Pollution Prevention and Control (England and
Wales) 2000 Regulations (as amended) and Regulation 24 of The
Pollution Prevention and Control (Scotland) Regulations 2000 (as
amended).
They form guidance on what constitute the Best Available
Techniques (BAT) for APC installations (also known as Part B
installations) for each of the processes regulated.
Process Guidance Notes are currently under review. Finalised
versions of those which have been reviewed and have been subject to
a formal consultation exercise by Defra and Devolved
Administrations, which allowed key stakeholders, plus wider
interested organisations, to have an opportunity to comment on the
content of the notes before they were formally issued, are
available from the Defra website:
*Please note that reference should always be made to the most
recent guidance note for each process.
