0.3 Regulations: What is it?
The EU regulations cover the entirety of Europe including the United Kingdom. They state that all sunbeds installed after 1st April 2009 must comply with the new output limit set at 0.3W/m2.
Although no date has been set by which older equipment must comply, all electrical equipment must comply with the "General Product Safety Regulations 2005". This regulation states that all equipment must be defined as "safe". Tubes that do not comply with the new 0.3 EU regulations can be defined as "unsafe" and so must therefore be modified in order to comply.
Why Make The Change?
The new 0.3 output of tanning equipment is comparable to the natural Mediterranean midday sun. Therefore, whilst the new generation of tanning tubes used in sunbeds will provide a higher UVA content, the maximum limit a sunbed complying with new regulations can output matches the maximum limit that human Caucasians are biologically evolved to cope with.
This means that sunbed users will get a deeper, more lasting tan that is both safer and gentler to their skin.
What does this mean for commercial sunbed owners?
All commercial sunbed owners have been given a reasonable period of time to make the changes to their sunbeds. Please note that should they not take positive steps to comply with the 0.3 EU regulations more formal action may be taken in the future. We advise owners to check with their local councils for further details.
