Stand Construction

Exhibitors may erect a stand to their design, using their own builders or a specialist stand contractor. All temporary structures built for exhibitions must comply with the Building Code of Australia and all other statutory regulations current at the time of construction. This includes areas pertaining to egress, height, fire safety and fire retardancy of materials. No attachments, fitting, fixture or defacement is to be made to flooring, ceilings or to the internal or external walls of any building.

All stands must be constructed in accordance with all current Australian Standards. All electric lighting must be 2.2 metres from floor level to prevent injury from hot light fittings. Stands over 2.4 metres in height are required to be certified safe by a relevant qualified engineer.  Written proof should be available on site at all times.

Any fire exit, fire hydrant or emergency signage that is obscured from view will be compensated by additional signage as per the Building Code of Australia.

Any material used for stand construction or display purposes must conform to the Building Code of Australia and be:

• Non-combustible materials
• Inherently non-flammable materials
• Must not be capable of emitting toxic fumes should ignition occur
• Flame proof fabrics
• Self-extinguishing plastic materials
• Plywood, hardwood, pulpwood or fibreboard rendered flame resistant by a process of impregnation acceptable to the authorities
