Sunbeds and Solaria
Regulation of sunbeds and solaria has only be achieved in a few countries worldwide. However, there exist recommendations of WHO (1), EUROSKIN (2), (3) and the Nordic Radiation Protection and Health Authorities (4). You also find a "Preliminary Opinion" of EU's "Scientific Committee on Consumer Products, SCCP" on "Biological effects of ultraviolet radiation relevant to health with particular reference to sun beds for cosmetic purposes" (5).
You can download these recommendations by clicking on (1), (2), (3), (4) or (5) below:
