SECTION 795.150 CONSTRUCTION AND OPERATION OF TANNING FACILITIES
Section 795.150 Construction
and Operation of Tanning Facilities
Each tanning facility shall be
constructed, operated and maintained to meet the following minimum
requirements:
a) Physical facilities
The following warning sign,
provided by the Department, shall be conspicuously posted within 3 feet of each
piece of tanning equipment; it shall be readily legible, clearly visible, and
not obstructed by any barrier, equipment, or other item so that the user can
easily view the warning sign before energizing the ultraviolet light generating
equipment:
Danger – Ultraviolet Radiation.
(This indented heading must be in upper case letters.)
• Follow instructions.
• Avoid too frequent or lengthy exposure. As with natural sunlight, exposure
to a sunlamp may cause eye and skin injury, sunburn and allergic reactions.
Repeated overexposure may cause chronic damage characterized by wrinkling,
dryness, premature aging of the skin, and skin cancer.
• Wear protective eyewear.
• Failure to use protective eyewear may result in severe burns or
long-term injury to the eyes. (This sentence must be in upper case letters.)
• Ultraviolet radiation from sunlamps enhances the effects of the
sun. Do not sunbathe before or after exposure to ultraviolet radiation.
• Abnormal or increased skin sensitivity or burning may be caused by
certain foods, medications (including, but not limited to tranquilizers,
diuretics, antibiotics, high blood pressure medication, birth control pills,
and skin creams), cosmetics or toiletries. Consult a physician or pharmacist
before using a sunlamp if you are using prescription or non‑prescription
medications, have a history of skin problems, or believe yourself especially
sensitive to sunlight. Pregnant women and women on birth control pills who use
a tanning device may develop discolored skin.
• If you do not tan in the sun, you are unlikely to tan from the use
of this product.
• Use of a tanning device may not provide a protective base in regard
to sun exposure.
b) Requirements for Tanning Devices
1) Only tanning equipment manufactured in accordance with 21 CFR
1040.20, "Sunlamp products and ultraviolet lamps intended for use in
sunlamp products", shall be used in tanning facilities.
2) Each piece of tanning equipment shall have a timer that
complies with 21 CFR 1040.20(c)(2). The maximum timer interval shall not
exceed the manufacturer's maximum recommended exposure time. A timer interval
shall not have an error greater than plus or minus 10% of the maximum timer
interval for the product.
3) Each piece of tanning equipment shall have a control to enable
the consumer to manually terminate radiation without physically disengaging the
electrical power or having contact with the ultraviolet lamp or lamp sockets.
4) All tanning equipment electrical circuits shall be labeled
with the symbol of the Underwriters Laboratory (UL), Electrical Testing
Laboratories (ETL), Applied Research Laboratories (ARL) or Canadian Standards
Association (CSA) or an equivalent.
5) Physical barriers shall be in place to protect consumers from
injury induced by touching or breaking the lamps. Each ultraviolet lamp shall
be shielded to prevent contact with the consumer. Plastic sheaths inserted
over individual lamps are not acceptable physical barriers.
6) Each tanning facility shall be equipped to dissipate heat so that
the ambient temperature does not exceed 100° F or 38° C.
7) Defective or burned-out lamps, bulbs or filters shall be
replaced with a lamp, bulb or filter of the same spectral ultraviolet
distribution intended for use in that device as specified on the product label
on the tanning equipment, or with equivalent lamps, bulbs or filters that have
been determined to meet the requirements and specifications of 21 CFR 1040.20.
8) Floors in rooms containing tanning equipment are to be
constructed of nonabsorbent, easily cleanable materials. New tanning
facilities shall not include carpeting in rooms containing tanning equipment.
Existing facilities with carpeting in rooms containing tanning equipment shall
remove the carpeting whenever the facilities are remodeled.

ultraviolet lamps and the consumer's skin.
b) The construction of the booth shall be such that it will
withstand the stress of use.
c) Access to the booth shall be of rigid construction; doors
shall open outwardly. Handrails for the consumer to grasp during operation of

Section 795.170 Protective
Eyewear
a) Each consumer shall be provided with protective eyewear before
each tanning session, with instructions for its mandatory use.
b) Protective eyewear shall meet or exceed the requirements of 21
CFR 1040.20(c)(4). Tanning facilities shall maintain documentation to verify
that protective eyewear meets federal requirements.
c) Protective eyewear shall be properly sanitized before each
use, using a sanitizing agent which is registered by the United States
Environmental Protection Agency (U.S.E.P.A.) as follows:
1) immersion for at least one (1) minute in a clean solution
containing at least two hundred (200) milligrams per liter (parts per million)
of available quaternary ammonium compound at a temperature of at least
sevety-five degrees Fahrenheit (75° F.); or
2) immersion for at least one (1) minute in a clean solution
containing at least fifty (50) milligrams per liter (parts per million) of
available chlorine as a hypochlorite and at a temperature of at least
seventy-five degrees Fahrenheit (75° F.); or
3) immersion for at least one (1) minute in a clean solution
containing at least twelve and one-half (12.5) milligrams per liter (parts per
million) of available iodine and at a pH of which the efficacy has been
demonstrated to be effective by the manufacturer and at temperature of at least
seventy-five degrees Fahrenheit (75° F.); or
4) immersion in a clean solution containing any other chemical
sanitizing agent registered by the United States Environmental Protection
Agency (U.S.E.P.A.) and specifically manufactured for use with protective
eyewear that will provide the equivalent bactericidal effect of a solution
containing at least fifty (50) milligrams per liter (parts per million) of
available chlorine as hypochlorite at a temperature of at least seventy-five
degrees Fahrenheit (75° F.) for one (1) minute.
d) A test kit or other device that accurately measures the
concentration of the sanitizing solution in parts per million shall be used to
measure the strength of the sanitizing solution at least once each day of
tanning facility operation or more frequently as needed to ensure sufficient
strength of the sanitizing solution.
e) Exposure of protective eyewear and other tanning equipment to
the ultraviolet radiation produced by the tanning equipment itself shall not be
