Sec. 25.

(a) No person shall be allowed to use a sunlamp product unless protective eyewear is worn.
(b) Each consumer shall be provided with protective eyewear and instructions for its use.
(c) The spectral transmittance of the protective eyewear required by this section shall not exceed a value of one-thousandth (0.001) over the wavelength through a range of greater than two hundred (200) nanometers through three hundred twenty (320) nanometers, and a value of one-hundredth (0.01) over the wavelength range of greater than three hundred twenty (320) nanometers through four hundred (400) nanometers, and shall be sufficient over the wavelength greater than four hundred (400) nanometers to enable the user to see clearly enough to prevent injury and to turn the timer off.
(d) Protective eyewear provided by the operator shall be sanitized by the operator before each use by:
(1) immersion for at least one (1) minute in a clean solution containing at least two hundred (200) milligrams per liter (two hundred (200) parts per million) of available quaternary ammonium compound at a temperature of at least seventy-five (75) degrees Fahrenheit;
(2) immersion for at least one (1) minute in a clean solution containing at least fifty (50) milligrams per liter (fifty (50) parts per million) of available chlorine as a hypochlorite and at a temperature of at least seventy-five (75) degrees Fahrenheit;
(3) immersion for at least one (1) minute in a clean solution containing at least twelve and one-half (12.5) milligrams per liter (twelve and one-half (12.5) parts per million) of available iodine and at a pH of which the efficacy has been demonstrated to be effective by the manufacturer and at a temperature of at least seventy-five (75) degrees Fahrenheit;
(4) immersion in a clean solution containing any other chemical sanitizing agent approved by the department that will provide the equivalent bactericidal effect of a solution containing at least fifty (50) milligrams per liter of available chlorine as hypochlorite at a temperature of at least seventy-five (75) degrees Fahrenheit for one (1) minute; or
(5) swabbing with a chemical sanitizing solution of the same strength required under subdivision (1) if quaternary ammonium compounds are used or at least twice the strength required for that particular sanitizing solution if halogens are used under subdivisions (2) through (4).
(e) A test kit or other device that accurately measures the concentration of the sanitizing solution in parts per million shall be provided and used to measure the strength of the sanitizing solution at least once each day of tanning facility operation.
(f) Exposure to the ultraviolet radiation produced by the tanning equipment itself is not considered a sanitizing agent.
(g) Each sunlamp product shall be accompanied by at least the number of sets of protective eyewear that is equal to the number of customers who can simultaneously use the facility. Eyewear shall be provided and shall meet or exceed the sunlamp product manufacturer's recommendations.
