820 IAC 5-1-24 Consumer protection

Sec. 24. There must be physical barriers to protect customers from injury induced by touching or breaking the lamps in a sunlamp product. Each customer shall be shown how to use suitable physical aids and maintain the proper exposure distance recommended by the manufacturer. There must also be the following requirements: (1) The construction of a tanning booth must be that it will withstand the stress of use and the impact of a falling person. (2) There must be physical barriers or other means, such as handrails or floor markings, to indicate the proper exposure distance between ultraviolet lamps and the customer's skin in upright tanning booths. (3) Each ultraviolet lamp contained within the sunlamp product must be shielded to prevent contact with the customer. A screen or transparent cover must be used for this purpose. (4) Body contact surfaces of each sunlamp product must be sanitized by the operator or facility staff between each customer use by swabbing the body contact surfaces with a chemical sanitizing solution of at least twice the strength required for that particular sanitizing solution, as stated in section 25(d) of this rule. The swabbing shall be accomplished with single use towels. Exposure to the ultraviolet radiation produced by the tanning equipment itself is not a sanitizing agent for purposes of this rule.
