Illinois Administrative Code › Title 77 - PUBLIC HEALTH › Part 795 - TANNING FACILITIES CODE › Section 795.150 - Construction and Operation of Tanning Facilities

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
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.
