These rules are in accordance with the European regulations concerning safe use of tanning equipment. We advise you to inform your clients
about these rules.

1 Before your client starts tanning, fi rst

thoroughly consult the tanning table
included in this book and follow the
recommendation given. Make sure that the
indicated minimal erythemal dose (MED) is
not exceeded.

2 This sunbed is not suitable for use by:

•

Persons with reduced sensory and/or mental

capacity

Persons lacking knowledge of or experience

with sunbeds, with the exception of
individuals who are being supervised or have
received instructions regarding the use of the
sunbed by a person who assumes
responsibility for their safety.

3 Sunbeds are not suitable for use by:

•

Persons whose skin is prone to burn without

being exposed to sunlight

•

Persons whose skin is already sunburned or

has been burned in a tanning bed

•

Persons who have been diagnosed with skin

cancer or precursors of skin cancer

experience unexpected symptoms such as
itching within 48 hours of using a sunbed for

changes in pigmented moles.

4 Make sure that upon commencing a series of

tanning sessions your customers have a rest
day following their fi rst tanning session. If
there is no sign of any undesirable skin
reaction they can then continue with the
series of sessions.

5 Make sure that your customers do not tan

more than once a day. This applies to tanning

using an appliance and tanning in natural
sunlight. The skin does not make a
distinction between the two. Take exposure
to natural sunlight into account.

6 Some medicines and beauty products contain

substances which can cause certain
undesirable reactions when combined with
exposure to UV radiation. Other substances
may also sometimes have a similar eff ect.
Below you will fi nd a list of substances which
can react when combined with exposure to
UV radiation:

•

Sulphonamide - in various medications,

including antibiotics

•

Tetracyclines - in antibiotics and acne

medication

•

Nalidexine acid - in urinary tract infection

medication

•

Chlorothiazide - in diuretics

•

Sulphonylurea - in diabetes medication

•

Phenothiazines - anxiety medication

•

Triacetyldiphenylisatine - in laxatives

•

Psoralenes - in tanning accelerators

•

Cyclamates - in sweeteners

•

Para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA) - in sunscreen

creams/oils

•

Musk ambrette, musk oil - in perfumes

•

Bleaching agents - in washing powders/

liquids

•

Eosine - in colourings

•

Halogenated salicylamide - in antifungal

substances

7 When combined with exposure to ultraviolet

light, cosmetic products, e.g. perfumes and
make-up can cause the skin to react. Ensure
that your customers skin is clean before they
start tanning. Some products penetrate deep
into the skin. Advise your customers to make
sure that their skin is clean during their
tanning session. Recommend that they
cleanse their skin thoroughly a few hours
before each tanning session, or better still,
recommend that they wear no make-up at
all the day before. Also tell your customers to
remove any jewellery before tanning.

8 Make sure that your customers do not use

cream or oil that contains a sun block or
self-tanning lotion when using the tanning
equipment. These products contain
substances which infl uence tanning times
and thus make the prescribed times
unreliable. Also make sure that your
customers do not use tanning pills in
combination with a series of tanning sessions
or exposure to natural sunlight. The
combination of tanning pills and UV light can
increase the possibility of skin irritation and
sunburn.

9 If the skin is red and taut shortly after the

tanning session it is likely sunburned. Wait one
week for these symptoms to disappear before

tanning again, revise the tanning plan and
reduce the length of the individual tanning
sessions for the customer in question. If tanning
gives rise to undesirable reactions that you
cannot explain, stop the series of tanning
sessions and advise your customer to see their
doctor if the symptoms do not disappear within
a short space of time.

10 Make sure that your customers always wear

protective goggles to protect their eyes - even
if you may have seen pictures of people
tanning without using these goggles. UV light
which directly enters the eyes can cause eye
disorders (snow blindness, actinic conjunctivitis
or cataracts). Contact lenses and sun glasses
are not a substitute for goggles.

11 Reduce tanning time by 20% during the fi rst

50 hours when using new lamps. During
these 50 hours, the lamps emit 120% power
instead of the usual 100%. After the fi rst 50
hours, lamps will supply the usual 95% to
100% power for approx. 450 hours.

12 Protect sensitive skin parts such as scars,

tattoos and genitals from exposure.

13 In cases of pronounced individual sensitivity

or allergic reaction to ultraviolet radiation,
medical advice is recommended before
starting exposure

Note

If your customers are using

any medication, ask them to

consult their doctor before

starting a series of tanning

sessions.
