2.2 Stand construction approval
Based on knowledge of and compliance with these Organizational & Technical Guidelines
in the design and construction of the stand, it is not necessary to submit drawings for approval in the case of single-story stand structures with a floor area of < 100 m² or an overall
height < 3 m in the halls. However, in order to exclude short-term changes on site as best
as possible, submission is expressly recommended.
No stand construction permit is required when booking a stand package. The stand construction guidelines must be complied with irrespective of this.
Special constructions are e.g. superstructures and exhibits over 4 m, closed ceilings, platforms and stages higher than 20 cm, moving components (e.g. turntables), glass constructions, standing-suspended constructions, LED walls, scene areas, cinema and show rooms,
show trucks or flying constructions.
Exhibitors and their service providers are obliged to check whether the temporary installations or superstructures they are planning, whether in the halls or in the outdoor area, require approval. Questions will be answered by the Technical Exhibitor Service (TAS).
Contact:
Technical Exhibition Service (TAS) (Messe München)
E-mail:tas.iaa@messe-muenchen.de
The technical stand planning should be submitted to the organizer per mail as early as possible but not later than June 20, 2025.
NEW: The complete documents will be submitted in compliance with the specifications
as upload of one single PDF file per exhibitor in the exhibitor area of the IAA Website.
Late submission may result in much longer processing times. If draft designs arrive shortly
before setup time the organizer reserves the right to inspect and check the stands on site.
This may necessitate adjustments; any additional expenses incurred will be charged to theexhibitor.

All stand constructions will be examined by the organizer. The documents will be returnedto the exhibitor/planner with digital approval notices. This does not relieve the exhibitor of
his responsibilities.
Exhibition stands including equipment and exhibits as well as advertising hoardings must be
securely erected such that they do not constitute a risk to public safety and order, above allin respect of human life and health.
The given exhibitor is responsible for the structural safety of the stand concerned and may
be required to provide proof of same. The organizer reserves the right to inspect standstructures, exhibits, advertising hoardings, etc. or have them inspected by an independent
expert in terms of their stability and traffic safety to the extent that justified doubt exists as
to their stability and traffic safety even if the items concerned have received prior approval.
8Upright structural elements or special constructions (e.g. freestanding walls, tall exhibits, talldecorative elements, LED walls), that may fall over, must be able to withstand the following
horizontally impacting equivalent distributed load qh:
qh1 = 0.125 kN/m² up to 4 m height from upper edge of floor;
qh2 = 0.063 kN/m² for all surfaces above 4 m in height from upper edge of floor
The reference surface in such cases is the surface potentially exposed. The verification documentation drawn up for this purpose is to be provided at the request of the organizer.
Stand structures in the outdoor area must be dimensioned for the corresponding windloads.
The exhibitor bears the main responsibility for ensuring that the exhibition stand, the exhibits
and the whole exhibition presentation comply with general statutory requirements, the Exhibition Conditions and the Organizational & Technical Guidelines, and must be able todemonstrate this if necessary.
The latest version of the building and venue regulations of the state of Bavaria (Bayerische
Bauordnung and VStättV Bayern) are also applicable.
The exhibitor assumes the duty to ensure the safety of visitors to his exhibition area. He issolely responsible for the safety of his structures, equipment and exhibits and must ensurecompliance with the requirements in accordance with the existing guidelines.
The organizer and the respective authorities may inspect the stand construction for compliance with the guidelines at any time during the construction period and the event. The
exhibitor must ensure that the approved draft plan is available on site during construction
and can be reviewed at any time.
To the extent that the exhibitor or the stand-builder commissioned by him does not comply
with the above stand construction regulations, he is liable for any damage resulting fromviolation of these regulations.
Moreover, the exhibitor or the commissioned stand-builder agrees to exempt the organizer
from all claims by third parties that may be asserted due to violation of the above standconstruction regulations.
Stand structures which are not approved and do not comply with the technical regulations
or with the state of the art, or which are not safe must be modified or removed if necessary.
If this is still pending after a specified deadline, the organizer is entitled to have the work
carried out at the expense and risk of the exhibitor.

2.8 Daytime and evening events
Exhibitors can hold individual daytime and evening events in the rented stand areas.
All events at the stands must be registered and approved. They may be held only after coordination, examination and written approval by the Technical Exhibition Service (TAS).
Registration of daytime and evening events is carried out via Messe München GmbH's Exhibitor Shop. When applying to stage a daytime or evening event, the exhibitor must submit
a concept for invitation management and implementation on site.
All events must be registered at the latest 4 weeks before the implementation. Registrations
forms received later can only be considered after prior coordination.
Registration of day events are free of charge. Registrations for evening events are subject
to a fee. Depending on the stand area a basic fee will be charged to cover the additionalcosts incurred in connection with the evening events (e.g. additional work for security personnel, cleaning, toilets, etc.):
The costs include the event duration until 24.00 h. An extension is not possible. For thetime after 10:00 p.m., additional costs in the amount of EUR 3,000 will be incurred. Individually caused costs are not included.
Depending on type and scope of the event and the hygiene regulations in force at the timeof the IAA, additional costs (e.g. for security services, cleaning) may be incurred.
Exhibitors’ daytime / evening events may be held solely on the rented stand area. Any conversion measures required must take place outside the opening times and in consultation
with the Technical Exhibition Service (TAS). Escape and rescue routes must be kept clear at
all times.
The maximum number of participants at daytime / evening events is determined by the sizeof the stand area and the respective valid requirement of the Bavarian state government at
the time of the event. Additional hygienic protection requirements may also affect the number of participants. The exhibitor is responsible for ensuring that this limit is not exceeded.
During the event, it must be ensured that aisle areas and neighbouring stand areas are not
involved. For the general protection of neighbouring stand areas against unauthorised access, damage, etc., Messe München GmbH will schedule security staff. The exhibitor organising the evening event is liable for any damage and cleaning costs incurred. The instructions of the security and security staff appointed by Messe München GmbH must be
followed.
The exhibitor carrying out the event is liable for any damage and cleaning costs incurred asa result of the evening event.
11In order to ensure a trouble-free process, it is recommended to coordinate with the standneighbours in advance.
For all events, the noise level may not exceed a maximum of 70 db(A) at the perimeter ofthe stand. In the case of acoustic presentations, we recommend informing neighboring exhibitors in advance.
Depending on the type and scope of the event, individual event plans or programs may berequested for examination of the fire-protection requirements (e.g. illuminated exit signs).
For contracted service providers (e.g. catering, bands, event technology) the entry to thefairground via the open entry gates is possible without special advance notification from16.00 h, provided the event has been registered and approved and the vehicle occupants
can identify themselves as contractors of the event.
In accordance with the current requirements of the Bavarian state government at the timeof the planned event, additional and prior registration of service personnel may be necessary.
Entry to the fairground is only possible for delivery and transport vehicles. The designatedparking spaces are available for cars and passenger transport vehicles.
All vehicles must leave the exhibition grounds by 1.00 h of the following day at the latest.
Vehicles remaining on the exhibition grounds after 1.00 h will be removed for security reasons and a fee will be charged.

Assistants for setup and dismantling, and hostesses, service staff, interpreters, moderatorsor artists can be ordered via the Exhibitor Shop.
2.11 Service facilities on the fairground
Information on service facilities is available online at any time and will be updated regularly.
2.12 Cleaning & detergentsThe cleaning of the areas of general access and other relevant areas on the fairground will
be organized on behalf of the organizer to the extent that they are not leased to exhibitors
or other third parties.
Exhibitors are responsible for cleaning their exhibition stands. This must be carried out andcompleted every day prior to the start of the fair or event. If exhibitors do not have thecleaning work performed by their own personnel, they must appoint Messe München GmbH
contractors only for this purpose. Such cleaning contractors as are not accredited by Messe
München GmbH will be requested to leave the exhibition area.
Only biologically degradable products may be used for cleaning work. Any liquids, substances or other materials that are absolutely essential for cleaning the stand and / or cleaning, operating and maintaining exhibits, should be used so professionally and correctly thatno harm is caused to the environment. Residual materials including any aids (e. g. impregnated cleaning wool) used are to be correctly disposed of as special waste. Any detergents
containing harmful solvents may be used only in exceptional circumstances in accordancewith the relevant regulations.
2.13 Environmental protection
The organizer is committed to the protection of the environment.
The exhibitor undertakes to ensure that he and his sub-contractors fully comply with all
regulations and requirements related to environmental protection.
On the fairground, such materials and products as are characterized by their durability, repair friendliness and recyclability, as produce less waste or waste that is easier to disposeof and / or as are made of residual materials or waste should be used to the greatest possible
extent.
In case of any environmental damage or pollution (caused by e. g. petrol, oil, solvents or
paint) the organizer has to be informed immediately.
Disposable tableware should be avoided for catering. Beverages should be procured in reusable containers as far as possible. If, however, disposable crockery is used in individual
cases, only materials that rot without affecting the groundwater or that can be incinerated
in waste incineration plants without leaving environmentally harmful residues may be used.
The distribution of plastic bags as well as other disposable plastic items (e.g. cups or
stirrers) is prohibited.

13

2.14 Waste management on the fairgroundPursuant to the Recycling Management Act, the Industrial Waste Directive (GewAbfV) andthe Waste Framework Directive (Directive 2008/98/EG with amendments via Directive (EU)2018/851), the prime aim is to avoid generating waste at trade fair centers during the standsetup period, the duration of the fair and the dismantling period. Exhibitors and their contractors are obliged to contribute to this in every phase of the event. This aim must be pursued at all times, even in the planning stage, and coordinated with all parties involved.
As a general rule, materials and products should be used on the exhibition grounds that arecharacterized by durability, ease of repair, and reusability or recyclability, that result in lesswaste or waste that is easier to dispose of compared to other materials and products, or thatare made from residual materials or waste.
The exhibitor may only appoint Messe München GmbH to dispose of its waste at the exhibition center. The exhibitor is to ensure that its contractors only appoint Messe MünchenGmbH to dispose of their waste at the trade fair center.
Messe München GmbH is entitled to appoint its contractors to dispose of waste at the trade
fair center.
Waste disposal and the proper separation of wastes produced during setup and dismantling,
as well as of wastes produced in the stand areas during the event, shall be coordinatedcentrally and carried out by the service partners of Messe München GmbH.
Exhibitors shall be charged for these services on the basis of the compulsory flat-rate waste
disposal fee of € 7.50 /m² of stand area (ground level) plus VAT.
The exhibitor will be charged the corresponding amount at the time of registration acceptance before the beginning of the event.
The flat-rate disposal fee does not include the disposal of production wastes (e.g. kitchen
and catering waste or wastes from machinery presentations), individual stand construction
elements or complete exhibition stands. The disposal of these wastes must be registered ingood time by contacting the Technical Exhibition Service (TAS) and indicating the type ofthe materials and quantities concerned.
The exhibitor may only appoint Messe München GmbH with the disposal of this waste on
the fairground. The exhibitor is to ensure that also his contractors appoint Messe MünchenGmbH only with the disposal of waste at the exhibition center. Messe München GmbH isentitled to appoint its approved contractors with the disposal of waste on the fairground.
Waste registered for disposal will be disposed of by Messe München GmbH at the prices
valid at the time of the event. Messe München GmbH reserves the right to demand higher
charges for the disposal of mixed waste than for fully presorted, recyclable materials. For
such waste generated by the exhibitor or his contractors as has not been registered with
Messe München GmbH for disposal, Messe München GmbH is entitled to charge lump-sum
compensation equating double the charge it would have raised for disposal of the same
quantity of mixed waste. Messe München GmbH’s right to claim further compensation remains unaffected.
The exhibitor may demand a reduction in the lump-sum compensation if he proves that
Messe München GmbH has incurred less damage. Waste generated by the exhibitor or his
customers is considered to be all such waste as is located on the exhibitor’s stand, unlesshe can prove that the waste has not been generated by him or his contractors.
14

No containers for non-recyclable, recyclable and residual waste made of flammable materials are to be used on the stands. Any non-recyclable, recyclable and residual waste produced on the stands should be disposed of regularly, on the evening of each event day atthe latest. They should be placed at the edge of the aisle-side of the stand for collection
purposes. The bags that are distributed for non-recyclable, recyclable and residual waste
are collected by the cleaning company on the evening of each event day.
The exhibitor is obliged to register with Messe München GmbH in good time for disposal
such waste as is by virtue of its nature, characteristics or quantity particularly hazardous tohealth or the environment, explosive or easily inflammable (e. g. batteries, varnishes, solvents, lubricants, machine oils, coolants, printing dyes and inks, paints), together with therelevant data safety sheet details.or submission by the exhibitor.
Such materials and waste as are not used or generated in connection with the given eventin the stand construction or dismantling periods or its actual duration may not be brought
to the fairgound.
All such objects as are located on the exhibitor’s stand after the exhibitor has recognizably
left the stand will be treated as waste generated by the exhibitor or his contractors not registered with Messe München GmbH for disposal unless the exhibitor proves that these objects were neither in his nor in the possession of his contractors during the entire period of
the event, including stand setup and dismantling times.
The exhibitor has the option during the dismantling period stated in the Terms of Participation, between 08:00 and 17:00, of having the due and proper clearance of his exhibition
stand confirmed by Messe München GmbH.
Materials left behind may be disposed of without verification of value at the exhibitor's expense for an increased fee.
Exhibition goods that, by virtue of their appearance, smell, noise, vibration or similar characteristics, constitute a significant disturbance to the running of the given event, and above
all put event participants or third-party objects at considerable risk or impinge upon them,
are to be removed immediately at the organizer’s request. This obligation of the exhibitor
concerned still applies even if he indicated such characteristics in his application and his
application was approved. Should the exhibitor fail to meet his obligation by not immediately
removing the exhibition goods causing the disturbance, the organizer is entitled to remove
the exhibition goods concerned at the expense and risk of the exhibitor or close down his
stand without the exhibitor being entitled to claim damages from the organizer. In suchcases, the organizer decides when the stand that has been closed down should be dismantled.

3.2 Concept and design of the presentation
The equipment and design of the stand and the necessary construction is the responsibilityof the exhibitor.
In terms of sustainability, the stand construction should use mainly recyclable and/or reusable materials. Certified CO2-neutral appearances are desirable, but not required.
The stand design is as open as possible and focuses on conveying the main points of thecontent. The organizer is authorised to prescribe changes to the stand design if necessary.
Stand construction at boundaries along hall aisles shall be as transparent as possible. At least
50% of the frontage along the aisles has to be open.
Walls may be built directly at the open stand boundaries, provided that they are no longer
than 50% of the stand side length and no longer than 10 meters at a stretch. In addition
they have to be designed in an attractive way with graphics, niches, display cases or displays.
Maximum height for the upper edge of construction and advertising in the halls is uniformly
7.50 m.
In certain areas lower construction heights may be necessary for design reasons (e.g. tosafeguard necessary visual axes). The corresponding “construction windows” will beshown in the stand sketches included in the stand confirmation and will replace thegeneral design guidelines.
The minimum equipment of the stands consists of floor covering, back wall and lighting.
Stand walls are obligatory at the closed stand sides and must be at least 2.50 meters high.
The maximum height allowed can be taken from the table on page 23. It is recommended
to co-ordinate the heights of the partition walls with the neighbors. Protruding partition walls
must be kept smooth, neutral, white and clean.
Partition walls can be ordered via the Exhibitor Shop. The partition walls and supports may
be neither modified nor processed by exhibitors. The exhibitor is liable for any damage topersons or property arising from non-compliance with this ruling.
Stand and exhibit inscriptions, logos and trademarks may not exceed the specified height.
In the case of advertising materials pointing towards a directly adjacent neighboring stand,a distance of 1 m should be kept free to the perimeter of the stand concerned.
Flashing, rotating or fast-moving advertising materials are prohibited, as is moving advertising on the stand perimeter.
Supply shafts and ducts in the hall floor must remain accessible if necessary. More detailed
information on the location of the supply channels and, if necessary, information on accessibility can be obtained from the Technical Exhibition Service (TAS).
16

Trusses for lighting may be suspended from the hall ceiling or mounted on pillars. Exhibitors
are free to choose the heights of trusses and attached banners up to the maximum height
permitted in the hall. The minimum height for the bottom edge is 3.0 meters clearance.
Exhibits and construction elements must not exceed the stand boundaries. This also applies
to lights.
The organizer reserves the right to approve exceptions to the design guidelines in special
cases and to prescribe changes in the stand design.
3.3 Accessibility
When designing the stands, particular attention must be paid to accessibility.
It must be ensured that all relevant exhibition areas and their facilities, including those on
upper floors, are accessible to and usable by persons with limited mobility without assistance.
Any necessary aids (e.g. wheelchair ramps with an appropriate gradient ratio) must be provided by the exhibitor within the stand areas.
3.4 Stand construction materials and decorations (embellishments)
In terms of sustainability, stand construction should predominantly use recyclable and/or
reusable materials.
Products produced by exploitative child labour as defined by ILO Convention 182 may not
be used for the design and furnishing of the stand.
As a general rule, no easily flammable materials, materials that drip or melt when burning,
toxic gases or materials producing heavy smoking / sooting, such as most thermoplastics
including polystyrene (Styrofoam), whatsoever may be used.
Decorative materials must be classed as being at least extremely flame-retardant (class B1),
may not drip or melt when burning pursuant to DIN 4102-1, may only produce a limited
amount of smoke or comply with class C (C -s2, d0) pursuant to EN 13501-1. A test certificate in German verifying the fire classification of the materials used must be available forpresentation.
In individual cases and for safety reasons, special conditions may be imposed for loadbearing structural components (e.g. non-flammability).
Any mountings, fasteners and ties required for structural or load-bearing purposes must be
made of non-flammable materials.
As a rule, materials such as bamboo, reeds, hay, straw, mulch or peat do not meet theserequirements and are in general to be protected separately or treated with a suitable andapproved fireproofing agent, to be coordinated with the Munich Municipal Fire Department
and taking account of the processing instructions.
The use of deciduous and coniferous shrubs or bushes is only permitted if they have moist
root balls. If during the event it becomes apparent that the trees and plants are drying out
and thus becoming easily flammable, they must be removed.
Consent can in particular be made subject to the general fire load to be considered.

17

3.5 Glass
Only safety glass suitable for the respective application may be used.
Edges of glass panes must be machined or protected in such a way that there is no risk of
injury. All-glass components must be marked at eye level.
For load-bearing structures made of glass (in accessible floors, ceilings, exterior facades
and/or parapets) in stand constructions / event areas on the open-air site, the requirements
and specifications of the Technical Building Regulations (DIN) and standards (in the currently
valid version) shall apply exclusively:

require auditable structural verification and rule-compliant execution on the basis of theaforementioned construction rules and regulations.
Further information can be found in the Data sheet Use of Glass and acrylic glass in standconstruction inside exhibition halls.
3.6 Security
General surveillance of the exhibition grounds during assembly and dismantling as well as
during the event is carried out on behalf of the organizer. However, it does not serve toprotect the property of individual exhibitors. Complete surveillance and control of the exhibition grounds is expressly not guaranteed. The contracted security and order service isauthorized to carry out the measures necessary for control and guarding.
It is expressly recommended that exhibitors commission additional individual security
guards for their stand areas both during assembly and dismantling and during and outside
opening hours.
Stand guards may only be provided by the security and security services approved by
Messe München GmbH for the exhibition center.

18

All employees of security and public order services commissioned by exhibitors require
personalized accreditation before commencing their activities. A prerequisite for theissuance of an accreditation is a prior official background check (ZVÜ) based on theBavarian Police Duties Act (PAG).
In case of a corresponding official risk assessment, a reliability check can also be extended to other service areas.
The security-related responsibility for the exhibition area lies with the exhibitor. This
includes, among other things, the short-term implementation of stand closures, e.g. in
the event of overcrowding of the stand, and the associated queue management.
Exhibitors’ attention is drawn explicitly to the fact that stand exhibits and other items on thestand are particularly at risk during the setup and dismantling periods. Items of value and /or those that can be easily removed should always be locked away at night.
3.7 Hall aisles, emergency exits, escape hatches
All hall exits and aisles designated as such in the hall plans are to be kept clear over their full
width. They serve as escape routes in emergencies and may therefore never be obstructedby objects left in the way or protruding.
Hall aisles designated as such may not be built over or obstructed in any way whatsoever.
This also applies in cases where Messe München GmbH has allowed exhibitors to incorporate space from the aisles into their stand design. These areas must be visually designed insuch way that they are recognizable as areas belonging to hall aisles.
Doors along emergency escape and rescue routes must be easy to open from the inside andto their full width.
Exit doors, emergency escape hatches and signs indicating their position may not be obstructed, built over, blocked, covered or made unrecognizable or inaccessible in any otherway.
Information stands, tables and other furnishings may only be located near entrances, exits
and access to stairways if sufficient room is left between them.
Materials required for stand-building purposes or exhibits delivered for immediate setup on
the stand may be deposited in hall aisles briefly providing the minimum aisle widths required
for safety reasons are observed and logistical needs given due consideration. This is considered to be the case if a strip along the stand perimeter to the hall aisle with a maximum
width of 0.90 m is used for depositing the items concerned.
On the main aisles (connecting aisle between two opposing hall gates) a passage with aminimum width of 2 m (red floor markings) must be kept clear.
Areas in front of emergency exits and the hall aisle intersections must be kept clear acrosstheir full width at all times. Hall aisles may not be used for setting up assembly areas or
erecting machines (e. g. woodworking machines, work benches).
Messe München GmbH may moreover demand the immediate clearance of hall aisles forlogistical reasons.

193.8 Safety equipment in the halls
Sprinkler systems, fire alarms, emergency call facilities, fire extinguishing equipment, smoke
detectors, closure devices for the hall entrances and other safety facilities, the signs indicating their position and the green emergency exit signs must be accessible and visible at
all times; they may not be obstructed or blocked.
3.9 Emergency evacuation
The organizer is entitled to order rooms, buildings halls and / or outdoor exhibition areas
halls to be closed and evacuated for safety and above all regulatory compliance reasons.
The exhibitor has to inform his employees of this procedure. He must draw up his own
evacuation plans and make them known should this be required by law or ordered by therelevant authorities or Messe München GmbH. As and when required, he is responsible for
ensuring that his stand is evacuated.
3.10 Exits, escape routes
Stands with a floor area of up to 100 m² require one exit with a clearance width of at least
0.90 m.
Stands with a floor area of more than 100 m² require two exits, each with a clearance widthof at least 0.90 m.
Stands with a floor area exceeding 100 m², an escape route longer than 10 m or a standdesigned such that the exit / escape route are not visible from all points on the stand musthave at least two separate exits / escape routes to be located as far apart from each otheras possible.
Stands with a floor area of more than 200 m² require two exits, each with a clearance widthof at least 1.20 m.
For stands with a floor area of more than 400 m², the Technical Exhibition Service stipulates
the number of exits and their respective clearance width in compliance with the statutory
and regulatory requirements valid at the given time.
The width of the escape routes (exits, stairways, corridors) shall be dimensioned according
to the largest possible number of persons who will be dependent on the escape routes inthe event of an incident.
If within a given stand the maximum length of an escape route to a hall aisle exceeds 10 m,
the stand must be equipped with a second exit and / or an aisle at least 2 m wide leading toa hall aisle.
Escape routes should be marked as such in accordance with ISO 7010, BGV A8 or ASR
A1.3.
3.11 Meeting and common rooms
Any partitioned rooms on stands in the halls must offer users an unobstructed line of sightin the direction of escape towards the nearest emergency escape / rescue route.
All measures that compromise a clear line of sight in the direction of escape of the nearest
emergency escape / rescue route or its accessibility are prohibited.

20

To the extent that 200 or more seats need to be arranged, the total number of seats andthe escape / rescue routes must be shown in a separate plan (seating plan scale 1:200) tobe submitted to Messe München GmbH in triplicate, whereby the width of the escape /rescue routes is to be based on the maximum number of persons the room can accommodate and sized accordingly. A copy of the plan approved for the given usage should be
displayed in a clearly visible location near the main entrance to the assembly room concerned.
Meeting and common rooms that may be accessed or left only via another room (“trappedrooms”) are not permitted on stands located in halls.
The Assembly Place Directive (VStättV) applying at the given time (with particular regard to
the operating requirements in part 4 with paras. 31 through 43, as well as para. 10 sect. 1,
para. 14 sect. 3 and para. 19 sect. 6) requires compliance.
The width of the escape / rescue routes in assembly rooms is to be based on the maximum
number of persons the room can accommodate and sized accordingly. The width clearanceof each section of any given emergency rescue route must amount to at least 1.20 m per
200 persons. Graduated increases are only allowed in steps of 0.60 m. The required widthof the given rescue routes must be verifiably calculated through to the circulation areas.
Assembly rooms must have at least two exits leading directly to the hall aisles. These exits
should be located as far apart from each other as possible.
Exits in darkened rooms must be lit adequately (signs according to DIN EN ISO 7010 or ASR
A1.3). Curtains in the vicinity of the exits must open easily to the minimum exit width prescribed, end 10 cm above the floor and be extremely flame retardant. They are to be provided with a colored marking along the vertical edges used for opening and closing. They
may not be sealed (tied together or similar) during operating hours.
Applications should be submitted by using the order form Application for Preventive Fire

Protection Measures for exhibitor services.

Seats arranged in rows must be fixed so they cannot be moved; any chairs arranged temporarily are to be firmly interconnected into rows. Seats must be at least 0.50 m wide. A
width clearance of at least 0.40 m must be provided between the rows of seats.
Seats arranged in blocks may comprise no more than 30 rows. Aisles with a minimum widthof 1.20 m must be provided behind and between the blocks. No more than ten seats may
be arranged at the side of an aisle. The seating plan must show places for both sitting andstanding. The path from a seat at a table to the nearest aisle may not exceed 10 m. The
distance between the tables should not be less than 1.50 m. The places for wheelchair users
are to be marked separately.
The organizer reserves the right to impose any additional safety or fire protection requirements until a fire protection inspection has been carried out. The organizer reserves theright to impose additional requirements if the need arises.
3.12 Doors
Doors located on escape and rescue routes in assembly rooms must open out in the direction of escape and may have no thresholds. During the time in which persons stay in assembly rooms, the doors of the respective escape and rescue routes must be able to beopened from inside easily and to their full width at all times.

21

In case of show areas as defined in the Assembly Place Directive (VStättV) valid at the given
time, a person responsible for event systems or an event system specialist (pursuant to paragraphs 39 and 40 in the Assembly Place Directive) is to be notified by name to the Technical Exhibition Service.
The use on emergency escape / rescue routes of swing doors, revolving doors, security
coded doors, sliding doors, lift doors or any other device that could act as an access barrier
is prohibited.
3.13 Stand covers
All stand covers require the prior written approval of Technical Exhibition Services.
The halls of Messe München GmbH are equipped with an automatic fire-extinguishing system, the effective operation of which may not hindered by any stand ceilings. Irrespectiveof their size, stand ceilings of any kind are subject to approval and must be registered at theTechnical Exhibition Service (see Application for Preventive Fire Protection Measures in theorder forms for exhibitor services).
Stand ceilings in halls A1–A6, B1–B6, C1– C6 must be at the very least flame-retardant(DIN 4102 or DIN EN 13501-1). The relevant test certificate should be submitted or available
for presentation on the stand.
A sprinkler system has to be installed for any single covered area exceeding 30 m². In suchcases, one sprinkler unit must be installed for every 12 m² or part thereof of covered space;
any rooms / cabins located beneath the stand cover must be encompassed by the sprinkler
system.
Given the consent of the Munich Municipal Fire Department, sprinkler systems for standceilings larger than 30 m² are not necessary if the coverings meet the following requirements:•

The covering concerned is a modular or metal-grid ceiling comprising open-meshgrating, perforated sheet metal or similar. At least 70% of the entire ceiling structure
including lamp fittings, etc. must be open in accordance with the planning and installation guidelines laid down by VDS Schadenverhütung GmbH (Independent Fire
Protection and Safety Institute of the German Insurance Association). The degree of
openness of the given structure must be proven verifiably.

•

The covering is fireresistant and its horizontal installation below sprinkler units has
been approved by VDS Schadenverhütung GmbH (wide-mesh netting or smokeout fabric). VDS Schadenverhütung GmbH’s written approval should be submitted
to Technical Exhibition Services in compliance with VDS Schadenverhütung GmbH’s
installation instructions is required.

Clearance of at least 0.50 m must be guaranteed between stand perimeters and directly
neighboring stands to ensure that the maximum permitted continuous area of 30 m² is notexceeded due to the aggregation of several ceiling or canopy sections. Messe MünchenGmbH’s approval is required for any reduction in the minimum 0.50 m clearance stipulated.
In Hall B0 as well as in the North, East, West and North-West Entrances only such mesh /netting materials as have been approved by VDS and are sprinkler-compatible may be used.
Horizontal coverings in the entrance buildings wider than 1 m must be approved by theTechnical Exhibition Service.

22

Further information is available in the Data sheet Installation of sprinkler-sompatible materials and fabrics for further information on materials approved for stand coverings and the
suppliers of such materials.

3.14 Safety lightingStands whose specific design or structure render the existing general safety lighting ineffective must be equipped with their own, additional safety lighting. It is to be installed according to currently accepted technical standards. It must be mounted such that safe orientation and access to the general escape routes is guaranteed.
3.15 Fire extinguishers
In each stand area (tent, container) and other facilities, there should be at least one waterbased fire extinguisher (content: min. 9 l), a carbon-dioxide extinguisher (content: min. 5kg) in kitchen areas, as well as for any area with lighting or sound equipment (mixer, amplifier, dimmer, etc.) and one fat-fire extinguisher (content: min. 6 l) in accordance with EN 3
or DIN 14406 in areas where deep-fat fryers are operated.
Powder extinguishers may only be used (e.g. heating systems) after approval by Messe München GmbH, OpenMesseService (OMS).
The locations of the fire extinguishers are to be marked with safety signs pursuant to ISO
7010, sign F01 (or comparable signs). Fire extinguishers must be checked by a specialist atleast every two years.
To ensure a clear allocation of the fire extinguishers within the stand area, they must be
marked by the exhibitor with IAA MOBILITY 2025, stand number and name of the ex-hibitor.

3.16 Multi-story constructions
Two-story exhibition stands can be built in Halls A1 - A3 and B1 - B3 providing prior approvalhas been granted by Munich Municipal Fire Department, the organizer and the Technical
Exhibition Service.
Approval is dependent on the required position in the hall and the floor space needed. An
essential factor in the approval process is what effect the given two-story stand will have on
the design and transparency of the hall as well as on neighboring stands.
Two-story stand structures must be constructed in such a way that assembly and dismantling can be carried out within the period of time scheduled for the event.
Load-bearing components, ground floor ceilings and upper story floors must be made of atleast flame-retardant (according to DIN 4102 or EN DIN 13501-1) building materials.
Floor coverings, wall panelling and ceilings can be made of such building materials as areallowed and normally used for stand-building purposes.
Anchoring materials to the floors in the halls is not permitted.
The clearance height in internal areas of multi-story stands must be at least 2.40 m on boththe lower and upper floors.
A sprinkler system needs to be installed in accordance with VDS regulations if the covered
stand area exceeds 30 m², with one sprinkler unit to be installed for every 12 m² of covered
space or part thereof. All rooms erected within this area are to be included in the protection
provided by the sprinkler system.
23

The minimum distance for stairways, open cabins, terraces / catering areas to the edge ofaisles and to the perimeter of a neighboring stand is 3 m. If it is impossible to maintain theminimum distance to the neighboring stand, some form of screening of at least 2 m in height
is to be erected in the area concerned for privacy purposes.
The floor of the upper story of a two-story stand within an exhibition hall must be designed
to with- stand working loads in compliance with DIN EN 1991-1-1 (2010) in conjunction withDIN EN 1991-1-1/ NA (2010) Table 6.1DE:•

If the story is used for meetings and customer service purposes, i. e. it is furnishedwith tables and chairs in a free arrangement or in the form of meeting cabins, it must
with- stand a working load of 3 kN/m² (Category C1).

•

For unlimited use as an exhibition or sales area, as an assembly room with or without
rows of chairs, the floor of the upper story must be able to withstand a working loadof 5 kN/m² (Category C3). A horizontal load of H = P/20 (P = working load) is to be
assumed if sufficient longitudinal / lateral stability is to be achieved. The respective
use must be marked clearly in the plans submitted for approval purposes. Stairways
must always be able to withstand working loads of 5 kN/m².

The bottom of any balustrades must be fitted with skirting of at least 0.05 m in height aswell as kneehigh skirting, grid or solid panelling or similar to prevent persons from falling.
To prevent objects (e. g. glasses) from being placed on balustrades where they can easily
fall off, the handrails or the tops of the balustrades must be appropriately shaped e. g. circular or semi-circular. Balustrades should be designed and constructed in compliance withsection 3.17.
General statutory building regulations require compliance. The organizer reserves the rightto impose further requirements in respect of safety and fire protection until such time as
acceptance of the given stand has been granted.
3.17 Platforms, ladders, stairs, bridges
Generally accessible areas that are directly adjacent to areas that are more than 0.20 m
lower must be enclosed with parapets. These must be at least 1 m high. There must be atleast one top chord, one middle chord and one bottom chord.
Single-step access landings must not be more than 0.20 m high.The maximum permitted
height for single-step, open-access platforms is 0.20 m.
Static load verification is to be provided for platforms with a height of 0.50 m and more.
The platform floor must be designed to comply with DIN EN 1991-1-1 (2010) in conjunction
with DIN EN 1991-1-1/ NA (2010) Table 6.1DE Category C1 or C3 depending on the specificuse made of it. This equates to a working load of qk= 3 kN/m² for cafés and reception areas;
for areas where a large number of persons gather, 5 kN/m² applies.
Ladders, stairs and walkways must comply with accident prevention regulations.
Stairs require a minimum clear width of 1 m. The height of the riser may not exceed 0.19 m
and the tread depth no less than 0.26 m.

24

Stairways must always be able to withstand working loads of 5 kN/m². Balustrades andbanisters must be designed to withstand loads of 1 kN/m at handrail height. Proof must be
provided that the pressure applied by the supports does not exceed the maximum permissible pressure the hall floor can withstand (see section 4.1. Hall data).
On two-story stands with an area covered by the upper story of up to 100 m², only one
stairway is required. The stairway must emerge beyond the covered area of the stand. The
length of any escape route from the upper floor to a main hall aisle on the ground floor may
not exceed 25 m.
On stands with an upper story area in excess of 100 m², at least two stairways are required,to be located at opposite ends of the stand. Half of these stairways must emerge beyond
the covered area of the stand.
Handrails must offer a secure grip and be of a continuous nature. Two handrails are to be
fitted on stairways that are wider than 1 m.
Winding or spiral stairways are not permissible on emergency escape / rescue routes.
All stairways should be designed to comply with DIN 18065. No items may be stored or
shelving installed in areas on or under stairways without risers.
Stands with a floor area of more than 200 m² require two exits, each with a clearance widthof at least 1.20 m.
For stands with a floor area of more than 400 m², the Technical Exhibition Service stipulates
the number of exits and their respective clearance width in compliance with the statutory
and regulatory requirements valid at the given time.
The width of the escape / rescue routes (exits, stairways, aisles) is to be based on the maximum number of persons needing to use the escape / rescue routes in an emergency andsized accordingly.
In the case of multi-story stand structures in the open-air section, each main unit used oneach story must be equipped with two separate escape routes. An exit out into the open air
may be no further than 30 m from any point on the stand. Each story must be equippedwith at least one exit leading out into the open air designed such that it can be used without
risk as an escape route (with its own stairway or outside staircase).
3.18 Stand constructions in the open-air section
All stand structures in the outdoor exhibition area must be designed to withstand any windloads occurring, pursuant to DIN EN 1991-1-4 and taking account of the site-related windzone.
If the structure concerned can be classed as a temporary structure in accordance with art.
72 BayBO (Bavarian Building Directive), the wind loads pursuant to DIN EN 13814, 5.3.3.4.
(for event installations) or DIN EN 13782, 6.4.2.2. (for tents) can be applied.
The erection of such temporary structures as require execution approval in accordance withart. 72 of the Bavarian Building Directive (BayBO) must be applied for with the Munich City
Council—Department for Urban Planning and Building Regulations—subject to submissionof the test log and compliance with the statutory deadlines.

The costs of the stand design approval process (see rear of “Application for Special Stand
Designs” form) will be charged to the exhibitor.
Should an operational load case pursuant to DIN EN 13814, 5.3.3.4. be asserted, the discontinuation of operations required as of wind speeds of v10 = 15 m/s (including in single
gusts) must be organizationally ensured by the exhibitor / stand operator.
The stand operator is required to observe weather forecasts and to take the necessary precautionary measures in case of severe weather warnings, up to stand dismantling or cessation of operations. In addition, the trade fair organizer will issue a general severe weather
warning to all exhibitors.
For any mobile equipment (such as small exhibits, furniture, parasols, small advertising displays, etc.), the exhibitor / stand operator must ensure that, in the event of severe weather
warnings, these may be dismantled and adequately secured at short notice at all times.
Upon submission of the registration - but no later than the start of stand setup - a person
responsible for technical matters is to be appointed with details of name and mobile phone
number, who can be reached throughout the entire setup, dismantling and event periods,
and can immediately initiate and implement the necessary measures in the case of storm
warnings or disruptions through to the cessation of operations.
For anchorages of tents, guy-ropes and flagpoles as well as for other earthworks in the outdoor exhibition area, detailed site plans have to be submitted to the Technical Exhibition
Service for written approval.
No earthwork in the exhibition center grounds may be performed without written approval.
