The Sunbeds (Regulation) Act 2010 (Wales) Regulations 2011

They provide further controls and make it an offence for sunbed salons to be unsupervised or to sell or hire a sunbed to anyone under 18

The Regulations will:

• require the supervision of sunbed use on all sunbed businesses;
• prohibit the sale or hire of sunbeds to under 18s;
• extend to businesses that operate from domestic premises the requirement that sunbeds are not used, or offered for use, to under 18s on those premises;
• prescribe the health information that is to be displayed and made  available to adults who may seek to use a sunbed;
• prohibit the provision or display of any material relating to health effects of sunbed use, other than material containing the health information prescribed; and,
• require the provision and wearing of safe and appropriate protective eyewear for adults.

A leaflet distributed to sunbed business in Wales prepares businesses for the new law.
