The LVD for salons is valid.

LVD, the Low Voltage Directive of the European Union (EU), governs the safe operation of household appliances and so covers salons. The LVD is compulsory for all members of the EU.
In January 2007 the EU established the maximum erythemic radiation strength for salons at 0.3 W/m². The limit relates to the midday sun at the equator - and hence the maximum measurable, natural solar radiation strength. 

The new European legislation of 0.3 W/m² is valid from 23 July 2007 within the European Union for all new sunbeds.

What is changing because of the new limit?

• All sunbeds, which are sold within the EU from 23 July 2007, have to meet the new limitation of 0.3 W/m².
• The UVB-radiation will be significantly reduced - to achieve the same amount of new pigment formation as before, it is necessary to tan longer.
• The UVA-radiation remains almost constant, thereby the instant tanning is still carried out.
• The individual countries are responsible for the regulation of old sunbeds (all sunbeds, which are in current use). As far as we know there is no regulation for existing sunbeds in any country up to now.
• Probably there won't be any transition time in Germany, therefore a retro-fitting would not be necessary.
• There are already limitations in France, Spain, Sweden and Norway.
• We already have suitable products for new sunbeds according to the new legislation in our product range.
  We would be pleased to advice you.

With tanning lamps from Original Hanau Suncare with UV-output guaranteed it is in spite of the reduced radiation strength still possible to get a natural and effective tan!
