Sets out requirements for installing, maintaining and operating solaria for cosmetic purposes.

This Standard sets out requirements for installing, maintaining and operating solaria for cosmetic purposes.The requirements set out in this Standard provide a basis for setting up and operating artificial tanning equipment, particularly in commercial establishments with solarium facilities. Product requirements for artificial tanning equipment are not included in this Standard, and are specified in the AS/NZS 3350 series and IEC 61228. Electrical safety requirements for artificial tanning equipment are specified in AS/NZS 3350.2.27.Because there is an increased risk to the user in an uncontrolled environment, unsupervised self-service solariums should not be available, and therefore are not covered within the scope of this Standard.
