The European Sunlight Association a.s.b.l. (ESA) was originally established in 2002 to promote benefits of sun bed use and provide balanced information on the risks and benefits of UV light. Today ESA is recognised by all stakeholders as the representative European association for and the voice of the European indoor tanning industry.
The European Sunlight Association (ESA) represents national indoor tanning associations and leading manufacturers of indoor tanning equipment.
The European Sunlight Association’s primary aims are to:
- Promote objective and balanced information about
responsible indoor tanning;
- Improve the quality standards and norms with regard to tanning devices in Europe and worldwide;
- Work with regulators and promote harmonised European legislation;
- Support its national member associations through information, advice and training;
- Be a credible partner to all stakeholders by providing balanced information on UV exposure;
- Promote research on both positive and negative effects of UV radiation;
- Educate consumers about the risks and benefits of UV radiation.
ESA currently has 22 members from 14 countries, of which 13 are EU countries. Through its national associations and individual company membership, ESA represents most indoor tanning facilities, manufacturers and distributors of indoor tanning equipment in Europe.Main EU files targeted
- We are currently liaising with DG GROW on the EN60335-2-27 technical standard and have submitted a list of proposals that are currently discussed by MT16, the advisory committee for TC61 at IEC level for inclusion in the international and European standard.
- Together with CENELEC and the Austrian Standards Institute (ASI), ESA is further implementing the EN16489-1 to 3 regarding the training of tanning facility staff and the provision of services by such facilities. Next to the UK (2014) we have accredited training providers in the Netherlands (Oct. 18) and Austria (Nov 19), which have already trained the first groups of tanning facility staff and owners.
- ESA is closely following the review of national legislation in several European countries regarding professional sun bed use.Address
