New UK Crematorium Emissions Regulations Explained

Updated UK crematorium guidance introduces revised requirements for emissions control and continuous monitoring, including standards for particulate matter, carbon monoxide, oxygen and temperature.

For unabated cremators, particulate monitoring is specified to EN 15859, while CO and O₂ monitoring should meet EN 15267-3 requirements. Temperature measurement should use calibration traceable to national standards.

Existing cremators will be required to meet the emission limit values set for new cremators from 4 December 2029. CODEL advises operators to review existing equipment, certification and calibration arrangements early so any required upgrades can be planned in good time.
