Use of Glass in Stand Construction Design Inside Exhibition Halls

Status: June 2019

■ 1. Scope of Applicability

This information sheet discusses the regulations concerning the use of glass instand construction and design inside trade fair halls. It does not apply to stand construction and design outside trade fair halls.

Designing,dimensioncalculationsandassemblyofglasscomponentsforuseinsidetradefairhallsrequirethatthedesign,planningandassemblypersonnelinvolvedisadequately qualified for glass construction projects.

Glass structures which have received general construction approval (includingEuropeanTechnicalApprovalETA)maybeused inallcases in tradefairhalls inaccordance with the wording of the approval. This information sheet does notimposerestrictionsontheuseofsuchstructures.
