Purchasers of tanning equipment in the UK should always check whether their sunbed supplier is a member of the TSA. This membership confers a similar status as the British standard kitemark for quality, offering reassurance to customers that every care is taken to ensure their health and safety. This is an excellent way in which the quality of a sunbed manufacturer or distributor can be objectively assessed by a third party. If the tanning supplier or manufacturer is not a member, Tansun recommend that you don't buy from them. These are people who are undermining the industry and destroying its credibility, so they should not be supported. There are many benefits for the individual salon as well as the whole tanning industry for joining the Association. These include recognition of your business as a reputable operation, offering the same reassurance to your clients that you sought in the suppliers of your tanning equipment.
