Sunbed (Regulation) Act 2010
The Sunbeds (Regulation) Act 2010 is the law in England and Wales that makes it an offence for a sunbed business to let anyone under the age of 18 use a sunbed on its premises. Studios check photo ID whenever there is any doubt about age, and a business that breaks the Act can be fined. Scotland (the Public Health etc. (Scotland) Act 2008) and Northern Ireland (the Sunbeds Act (Northern Ireland) 2011) have their own laws with the same 18+ rule.
