South Australian Consolidated Regulations South Australian Consolidated Regulations11—Requirements applying to tanning units etc
(1) A person who
carries on a cosmetic tanning business must not cause, suffer or permit a
cosmetic tanning service to be provided by use of a tanning unit that does not
comply with this regulation.
Maximum penalty: $10 000.
(2) A tanning unit
complies with this regulation if—
(a) the
erythemal effective ultraviolet irradiance of the unit does not exceed the
limit specified in clause 2.1.1 of AS/NZS 2635:2002 ; and
(b) the
emitting radiation of ultraviolet lamps in the unit are specified by the
values specified in clause 2.1.2 of AS/NZS 2635:2002 ; and
(c) all
ultraviolet lamps in the unit are mechanically screened from the possibility
of unintentional contact with a client and the screening is of sufficient
mechanical strength to withstand accidental impact; and
(d) the
unit is not capable of being operated by a client other than to terminate or
suspend a tanning session.
(3) A person who
carries on a cosmetic tanning business must ensure that—
(a)
there is within the reach of a client using a tanning unit a means by which
the client may terminate or suspend a tanning session; and
(b)
there is a means by which the operator of a tanning unit may terminate a
tanning session remotely; and
(c) a
timing device that is accurate within ±10 per cent for all settings is
provided to enable a tanning session to be automatically terminated when the
maximum exposure time permitted by these regulations is reached; and
(d)
ultraviolet screening is provided to contain direct ultraviolet radiation
emitted by a tanning unit to the area normally occupied by a client being
exposed to such radiation from the unit; and
(e) if a
client is exposed to ultraviolet radiation from a tanning unit in a standing
position, there is at least 1 mechanism provided to support the client in that
position; and
(f) a
tanning unit is not used if any ultraviolet lamp in the unit has exceeded the
manufacturer's recommended life expectancy as specified on a label on the unit
or in the unit's user manual; and
(g) if
more than 1 tanning unit is installed in the same premises, each tanning unit
is connected to a separate circuit breaker.
Maximum penalty: $10 000.
(4) In this
regulation—
"client" means a person to whom a cosmetic tanning service is being provided
for fee or reward;
"erythemal effective ultraviolet irradiance"—the
erythemal effective ultraviolet irradiance of a tanning unit is the maximum
value of biologically erythemally weighted irradiance within the total region
likely to be occupied by a person using the tanning unit;
"irradiance" means a measure of ultraviolet radiation flux per unit area,
expressed in watts per square metre;
"tanning session" means a period of time during which a tanning unit is in
operation.
