US National Tanning Regulations
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) - https://www.fda.gov/ - regulates indoor tanning equipment and its use. The FDA tanning webpage, including their regulations is found at https://www.fda.gov/radiation-emitting-products/home-business-and-entertainment-products/sunlamps-and-sunlamp-products-tanning-bedsbooths
Canada National Tanning Regulations
Indoor tanning is covered by the Radiation Emitting Devices (RED) Act as implemented in the Radiation Emitting Devices Regulations, Schedule II, Part XI (Tanning Equipment). These set the requirements for tanning equipment.
The regulations are overseen by Health Canada, https://www.canada.ca/en/health-canada/services/environmental-workplace-health/radiation/ultraviolet-radiation.html; along with the Federal Provincial Territorial Radiation Protection Committee; they publish Guidelines for Tanning Equipment Owners, Operators and Users.

When a key feature of your certification training is selling you products and equipment, you wonder if you are really getting the facts or just paying for "overdressed advertizing".
Since we started in 1994 SunFocus has been "brand neutral". We have no "sponsors" or "partners" that pay us for endorsement; no affiliation with any industry vendor. We are not an "Association", "Institute" or "Network" setup by a marketing company or magazine publisher. We have no membership fees and carry no ads.
We are truthfully independent; this allows us to give you accurate and independent information you can trust, not ads "dressed up" as training.
