What is a sunbed session?
A session is a length of time exposed on a sunbed, which should vary in length considering the tanning power of the sunbed and the users skin type. EU safe tanning regulations require all sunbeds to have a maximum irradiance level of 0.3w/m2, yet the various models of sunbeds do give out different levels of UVA/UVB, therefore you should always read the tanning instructions on the sunbed before use.
