ESA is promoting safe, controlled and informed use of sunbeds in compliance with EU legislation.
For this purpose, ESA has developed a binding European Code of Conduct for every tanning studio affiliated with one of the member associations of the European Sunlight Association. This code indicates how the quality and safety of tanning and related services are to be carried out. Employees of these indoor tanning facilities are bound by this code.
Moreover, ESA wants to promote the image of a responsible sunbed’s industry by publicly showing that its members comply with the following set of rules:
- Ethics and fair competition rules[1];
- Competition rules as they apply in the EU and in other major developed economies in the world.
The following Guidelines apply to ESA, including all working groups, individual members, and any sub-group within the association, irrespective of size and name.
[1] « Members » means both effective and affiliated members as defined in Article 6 of the ESA Statutes
