What is lamp equivalency documentation?
Lamp equivalency documentation is important paperwork to establish that a tanning bed is compatible with the lamps being used. It is vital to use equivalent lamps in a tanning bed to ensure that the consumer is not being overexposed to UV radiation. This documentation must be maintained by the tanning salon if lamps other than those recommended by the manufacturer are in use and will be requested by an inspector during an inspection. Lamp equivalency documentation can be found in the user manual for your equipment or it can be requested from your tanning lamp vendor.
