Why should you use BS EN 16489-1 - UV exposure consultants training?
Over the years, the quality and safety of indoor tanning devices – without which a tanning facility cannot operate – have improved. This is especially the case since the publication of EN 60335-2-27, which limits the erythema irradiance to 0,3 W/m2. The safe use of commercially offered indoor tanning devices is critically dependent on the way the service is provided. Particularly important is the way in which potential customers are informed about the proper use of tanning devices taking into account the personal characteristics of the consumer.
Together with part 2, BS EN 16489-1 contributes to further strengthening consumer information, protection, and safety with regard to commercially offered indoor tanning services by defining the requirements for training courses for indoor UV exposure consultants.
