1. The following rules apply for the interpretation of Part 1 of this Schedule.
2.—(1) Subject to sub-paragraph (2), an activity shall not be taken to be a Part B or Part C activity if it cannot result in the release into the air of a substance listed in paragraph 9 or there is no likelihood that it will result in the release into the air of any such substance except in a quantity which is so trivial that it is incapable of causing pollution or its capacity to cause pollution is insignificant.
(2) Sub-paragraph (1) shall not apply to—
(a)a SED activity; or
(b)an activity which may give rise to an offensive smell noticeable outside the site where the activity is carried out.
3. An activity shall not be taken to be an activity falling within sections 1.1 to 7 of Part 1 if it is—
(a)carried out in a working museum to demonstrate an industrial activity of historic interest or if it is carried out for educational purposes in a school as defined by Article 2(1) of the Education and Libraries (Northern Ireland) Order 1986(1);
(b)carried out at an installation or mobile plant solely used for research, development and testing of new products and processes;
(c)the running on or within an aircraft, hovercraft, mechanically propelled road vehicle, railway locomotive or ship or other vessel of an engine which propels or provides electricity for it;
(d)the running of an engine in order to test it before it is installed or in the course of its development; or
(e)carried out as a domestic activity in connection with a private dwelling.
4. An activity listed in section 7 of Part 1 shall include the cleaning of equipment but, except for a surface cleaning activity, not the cleaning of products.
5. References in Part 1 to related activities are references to separate activities being carried out by the same person on the same site.
6.—(1) This paragraph applies for the purpose of determining whether an activity carried out in a stationary technical unit falls within a description in Part A which refers to capacity, other than design holding capacity.
(2) Where a person carries out several activities falling within the same description in Part A in different parts of the same stationary technical unit or in different stationary technical units on the same site, the capacities of each part or unit shall be added together and the total capacity shall be attributed to each part or unit for the purpose of determining whether the activity carried out in each part or unit falls within a description in Part A.
(3) For the purpose of sub-paragraph (2), no account shall be taken of capacity when determining whether activities fall within the same description.
(4) Where an activity falls within a description in Part A by virtue of this paragraph it shall not be taken to be an activity falling within a description in Part B or Part C (other than a description in section 7).
7.—(1) Where an activity falls within a description in Part A and a description in Part B that activity shall be regarded as falling only within the description in Part A.
(2) Where an activity falls within a description in Part A and a description in Part C (other than a description in section 7) that activity shall be regarded as falling only within the description in Part A.
(3) Where an activity falls within a description in Part B and a description in Part C (other than a description in section 7) that activity shall be regarded as falling only within that description which fits it most aptly.
8. In Part 1—
“background quantity” means, in relation to the release of a substance resulting from an activity, such quantity of that substance as is present in—
water supplied to the site where the activity is carried out;
water abstracted for use in the activity; and

“Part A activity” means an activity falling within Part A of any section in Part 1;
“Part B activity” means an activity falling within Part B of any section in Part 1;
