The [[Best Available Technique]] ([[BAT]]) is the most effective and advanced stage in the development of activities and their methods of operation which indicates the practical suitability of particular techniques for providing the basis for emission limit values and other permit conditions designed to prevent and, where that is not practicable, to reduce emissions and the impact on the environment. The [[BAT]] reference document is known as the '''[[BREF]]'''.
