The tanning industry is about to come under strict regulation for the first time in its history. There are varying ‘opinions’ being expressed on what the effect of this will be however, the facts are very clear and Sunquest are setting out to assist new and existing customers to ensure they and their businesses are compliant.

The regulations will enforce a new output standard of 0.3W/m2. Salons will not be able to offer tanning on a compliant basis unless the equipment being offered to the public meets these standards. This is not as simple as changing lamps with most equipment and anyone investing in new/used equipment needs to think carefully before agreeing to buy UV tanning products.

Our recommendation is to talk to a recognised manufacturer who is working towards ensuring their products and customers will be compliant. Sunquest have launched a range of Future Fit products including beds and lamps which meet the new regulation output requirements and are offering generous upgrade schemes and trade in allowances.

Consideration to these changes is an urgent requirement to businesses operating tanning salons in the UK as the regulations are taking effect during 2008.

Sunquest have a dedicated team able to offer impartial advice so please do not hesitate to contact us:-
