Safety Instructions for Users
Inform users of the sunbed about the following safety instructions or make
them available to users in printed form:
■ UV-light can cause severe damage to your skin and your eyes!
■ Children and young adolescents are not allowed to use a sunbed.
■ Persons with very light skin, many freckles, fair to reddish hair and light
eyes and nipples are not allowed to use a sunbed.
■ Always wear protective eye-wear during a tanning session and close
your eyes.
■ Remove contact lenses prior to a tanning session.
■ Remove make-up or any cosmetics well in advance of a tanning
session. Cosmetics may have unwelcome side effects and can cause
adverse skin reactions.
■ Take only one (1) tanning session per day.
■ For the first two sessions observe an interval of 48 hours.
■ For the following sessions, observe an interval of minimum 24 hours
between sessions.
■ After a tanning session, do not tan in the natural sun on the same day.
■ Stop exposure immediately when you notice physical symptoms or
adverse skin reactions. If the symptoms do not disappear after a short
time, consult a dermatologist.
■ Do not use drugs which promise to tan the skin without UV-light
exposure in combination with a tanning session. This combination may
increase the risk of a sunburn.
■ Do not use any self-tanning creams or lotions. These products may
contain ingredients which can increase the effects of UV-light exposure
in an unforeseen and unwelcome way.
■ Do not use any creams or lotions with a suncreen designed for outdoor
tanning. These products may contain substances which can influence
the effects of artificial UV light exposure in an unwelcome way. Use only
products designed specifically for indoor tanning.
■ Immoderate tanning results in overexposure. If skin shows signs of
blisters or sores or shows symptoms of irritation, consult physician or
dermatologist immediately.
■ Overexposure to UV-light emitted by either the sun or indoor tanning
equipment can cause premature aging of the skin and increase the risk
of skin cancer.
■ The unprotected eye can catch conjunctivitis and in some cases
overexposure can seriously damage the retina. Repeated exposures
increase the risk of cataracts.
