All portable light fittings must have a Certificate of Suitability or a Certificate of Approval from Australian or New Zealand Electrical Safety Regulators.

Testing & Tagging – Australian Standards

It is a legal requirement in Temporary Exhibition Work Sites that all electrical equipment be tested and tagged in accordance with SAA 300 Wiring Rules and Code of Practice for Temporary Installations under the OH&S Act 2000. Random checks will be carried out to ensure all equipment onsite within the Venue meets with Australian Standards. Non-compliance will result in the owner of the equipment being asked to remove the equipment.

Flooring

The Melbourne Convention & Exhibition Centre is not carpeted therefore you are responsible for providing your own flooring. All stands with raised floors require a bevelled edge. All raised floors, steps and ramps within exhibits must comply with the relevant sections of the Building Code of Australia. Any raised floor sections must be clearly distinguishable from areas of the surrounding floor space.

All raised floors with a height of less than 115mm are not regarded as a step, and these floors will require a suitable and clearly distinguishable ramp from the main exhibition floor level or surrounding platform to the raised section. The ramp must be of a gradient no less than 1 to 3 and be contained within the contracted space. Ramps may not protrude into the nominated aisle way, so must be included in the stand space. The only exception to this requirement is for ramping on 32mm raised flooring constructed from one

(1) metre modular floor sections, where an allowance of up to 100mm intrusion into the aisle will be acceptable and the 1 to 3 gradient will be maintained.

All raised floors with a height greater than 115mm but less than 190mm from the main exhibition floor level or surrounding platform will be regarded as a step and generally will not require a ramp. However, an approved stair nosing must be installed as per requirements for steps in public places. The raised floorsections or ramps must not contain sharp or dangerous edges and must not cause a trip hazard. Disabled access to the stand must be provided.

Walls

Any wall must be built to a height of 2.5 metres. If your walls and/or displays are to exceed 2.5 metres i.e. the standard Pre-Built stand wall height, consent must first be obtained in writing from the Organiser. If the wall height exceeds 2.5 metres the back of your wall adjacent to the adjoining Exhibitor, must be appropriately dressed. If your stand does not adjoin another Exhibitor, all walls must be appropriately dressed. NOTE: The maximum permitted height of any wall is 3 metres.

Signage

Signs, banners and similar materials may not be nailed, stapled, hung or attached to the ceilings, walls, windows, sprinkler systems or any other surface of the Venue, except by permission of the Venue. Damage resulting from installation will be a direct charge to the Exhibitor.

Additional Safety Precautions

Should your exhibit feature any of the following items listed contact the Organiser via sourcingadmin@ie-group.com.au for further information on the safety steps you may need to take or written approvals that you may need to gain: a second storey, a solid ceiling/roof area more than 18sqm, a structure more than three (3) metres high, naked flame (e.g. a candle), lighting lower than 2.2m above floor level. All portable light fittings used in the Venue are required to have Certificate of Approval or Suitability from an Australian or New Zealand Electrical Safety Regulator.
