13.A “sunbed”, for the purposes of the Act, encompasses all types of electronic devices which emit ultra-violet (UV) radiation where the purpose of the emission is tanning. The size of the device or the precise mechanism it uses for emitting the UV radiation does not matter. So traditional lie-down sunbeds are caught as well as those in which a person receives UV radiation whilst standing up. Portable devices such as UV sun lamps are also caught. Electrically-powered devices which spray the skin with a substance that gives the appearance of a tan without the use of UV radiation are not “sunbeds” for the purposes of the Act.
