Don’t be an "April Fool". New Sunbed Regulations apply from 1st April 2009
12 March 2009
Despite all the hype and uncertainty regarding the change to Standard EN 60335-2-27 that requires sunbed manufacturers to meet the new irradiance level of 0.3W/m2, on all equipment sold after April the 1st 2009, the change will not be as drastic as first t
Advice from the HSE Product Safety Section is that the standard will only affect new equipment and that there will be no requirement to retrofit existing equipment to meet the new standard.
However, second-hand sunbeds or 'traded sunbeds' as they are referred to in the legislation should also comply if bought after April 1st 2009.
Therefore, it would be misleading for anyone to suggest that H&S inspectors would be enforcing against the new standard for equipment bought prior to April 1st 2009.
If and when these new standards are to be applied to existing equipment is still to be decided, but most beds would still pass the new regulations with a simple tube change for compliant lamps.
