If there is compliance with the following requirements, Messe München GmbH will not need to approve a plan (cf. Technical Guidelines, number 4.2ff).

Hall

• Booth and advertising height is maximum 3 m
• Booth size smaller than 100 m²
• No booth covering

Open-air exhibition grounds

• One-story, building surface area fewer than 50 m²
• Setup height lower than 5 m

Booth designs differing from the above-mentioned requirements are to be submitted for approval no later than six weeks before the official set-up start with scaled booth design plans (floor plan, view, and drawings) to Messe München GmbH, TAS Department (by e-mail, as a pdf file or by post). In addition, multi-story booths and special structures (e.g., bridges, stairs, cantilever roofs, galleries, etc.) are subject to approval on principle. You can find additional information on building regulations in Form 1.3.

We need static proof for all buildings/facilities higher than 5 m for booths in the open-air site.

Please make sure in your planning that many room containers unfortunately do not meet the requirements for soil carrying capacity (stipulated payload of 3.0 or 5.0 kN/m² depending on the type of use of the rooms; cf. Technical Guidelines). Please refer to the .

Unsecured weights above persons are not permissible. Weights (e.g. ballasts) must be friction-locked in non-combustible material.

At evening events in the outdoor area, additional own safety lighting of the booth to the general escape routes is to be provided.

Due to the size of bauma, special fire protection and safety measures apply. This section contains a quick overview of these measures. All relevant documents can be found in the Exhibitor Shop under "Leaflets / Applications / Important Information".

• Actions involving fire hazards such as fires emitting sparks (fire wood, charcoal, etc.) are strictly forbidden on the entire trade fair grounds.
• The use of liquefied petroleum gas (e.g., patio heaters) is prohibited due to the exhibition size and booth density for fire safety reasons. The use of electrical cooking appliances is recommended for the preparation of food.
• Pyrotechnic effects are prohibited on the entire grounds.
• The use of compressed gases is only allowed for demonstration of exhibits; the use must be restricted to a minimum. Only the daily requirement may be kept on the grounds. The use must be notified in writing to the Technical Exhibition Service with indication of the amount used (Technical Guidelines, number 1.2). We reserve the right to stipulate additional requirements.

• Escape and rescue routes must be kept free, both within and outside your own booth area. Within the booth, lines of sight are required for meeting rooms and lounges. Please also remember in your planning to provide for corresponding storage and logistics areas for your catering, so as not to block escape and rescue routes within your booth.
• At least one fire extinguisher (water extinguisher) must be kept ready at each booth in the open-air site. The exact number of fire extinguishers depends on booth construction. Our teams from our Technical Exhibitor Service (TAS) will indicate the required number at booth acceptance.

• A person responsible for fire protection at the booth is to be named to the Technical Exhibitor Service (TAS) for all booths in the open-air site.
