Tanning beds are considered medical equipment.
Tanning beds are medical equipment and thus needing in depth training. Medical Device User Fee and Modernization Act of 2002 (MDUFMA), P.L. 107-250. of Food and Drug Adminitration.
In professional North American tanning facilities today:
  1. Trained operators control all tanning exposure times, minimizing a client’s risk of overexposure and sunburn, and require tanners to use FDA-compliant protective eyewear, which eliminates the risk of eye injury.
  2. All clients undergo comprehensive evaluations, including identifying their sun sensitivity (skin type). Clients also are taught about photosensitizing medications, which can potentially make a person more susceptible to sunburn.
  3. Clients are taught sunburn prevention and the appropriate use of outdoor sunscreen. Combined with the fact that a tan is nature’s protection against sunburn, this is why indoor tanning clients are up to 81 percent less likely to sunburn outdoors as compared to non-tanners, according to Smart Tan surveys.
  4. Clients are presented with material outlining the potential risks of overexposure to UV light and sign informed consent agreements acknowledging this.
