October 3rd, <strong>2012</strong> from 8:00 am.<br />
• Removal of goods and empty packaging shall be completed on Wednesday, October 3rd, <strong>2012</strong><br />

removal and delivery to the exhibitor's stand will be charged to the exhibitor.<br />
• Final setting-up operations including cleaning shall be completed on Wednesday, October 3rd, <strong>2012</strong><br />
at 12:00 pm.<br />
! No self-propelled equipment will be allowed into the halls on Wednesday, October 3rd, <strong>2012</strong>,<br />
i.e. on the last day of the set-up period (unless special dispensation is granted by the<br />
organizer). For this reason, orders for suspended items services will stop on October 1st, at<br />
7:00 pm.<br />
Note: All orders for slings, lighting bridges and spotlights shall be finalized by MONDAY,<br />
OCTOBER 01st 7:00 pm; no dispensation will be granted. Spotlight adjustments will be<br />
<strong>au</strong>thorized until TUESDAY, OCTOBER 2nd at 8:00 pm.<br />
For safety reasons, work in the halls is forbidden outside the specified hours.<br />
� Delivery of goods and equipment<br />
Goods intended for the stand installation must imperatively be delivered to the exhibition centre 48<br />
hours before the event opens. The day before shall be considered as final deadline.<br />
Shipments shall be delivered at the exhibitor's risk directly to his stand. It shall be the exhibitor's<br />
responsibility to be present or represented on the goods' arrival. Parcels shall be properly labelled<br />
on each side with the following address:<br />
Parc d’Expositions de <strong>Paris</strong>-<strong>Nord</strong> <strong>Villepinte</strong> – Salon SILMO<br />
Hall n° – Stand n° (letter + figure)<br />
ZAC de <strong>Paris</strong> <strong>Nord</strong> II – C.D. 40<br />
93420 VILLEPINTE France<br />
The Exhibition General Management cannot in any way take delivery of goods nor be held<br />
liable therefor.<br />
� Waste materials from stand construction<br />
Exhibitors shall not leave any rubbish nor waste materials resulting from the installation of their<br />
stands (e.g. empty packaging, wood offcuts, empty boxes, cans of paint).<br />

SILMO – <strong>du</strong> <strong>04</strong> <strong>au</strong> <strong>07</strong> <strong>octobre</strong> <strong>2012</strong> – <strong>Paris</strong> <strong>Nord</strong> <strong>Villepinte</strong> 7
Set-up - Exhibition - Dismantling<br />
Exhibitors or their suppliers shall take all appropriate measures to ensure that waste materials and<br />
empty packaging are removed by the vehicles which delivered the equipment and goods.<br />
New and mandatory for bare stands: A certificate of commitment to restore your space to its<br />
original condition is to be filled out and validated in your Exhibitor Area before stand set-up.<br />
Upon reception of your commitment certificate, the company DECO PLUS will notify you of its<br />
approval of your stand design.<br />
� Stand security<br />
The organizer of SILMO ensures the general security of the exhibition in the best conditions,<br />
but cannot provide for the indivi<strong>du</strong>al guarding of stands. This is an obligation to provide<br />
means, and not to achieve results.<br />
Exhibitors who intend to have their stands specifically guarded (this is strongly advised) should<br />
inform the Organizer and give the names of the persons who will be present on the stand, and<br />
the name of the security company.<br />
The exhibitor is responsible for his stand and must take all necessary measures to protect his<br />
equipment and remove it in the evening when the exhibition closes, if he does not provide for<br />
special guarding.<br />
Stand storerooms are not secured premises.<br />
As car parks are not guarded, it is preferable not to leave any valuable items inside vehicles, and to<br />
place objects likely to be stolen out of sight.<br />
! There are important risks of theft <strong>du</strong>ring the Set-up and Dismantling periods:<br />
Keep all equipment and items likely to be stolen out of sight (e.g. plasma screens,<br />
computers, personal effects). To be on the safe side, it is strongly recommended that you watch<br />
closely over your stand and ensure that someone is always present until dismantling is completed.<br />
This presence is your only safeguard against theft.<br />
DISMANTLING<br />
� Moving out<br />
Stand removal can begin from Sunday, October 7th, <strong>2012</strong> at 7:00 pm.<br />
Stand and goods removal shall be completed at the dates and times specified in the exhibitors'<br />
entrance and exit times sche<strong>du</strong>le.<br />
All fitted stands shall be dismantled in the morning on Monday, October 8th. Exhibitors are<br />
therefore kindly requested to remove their goods and personal effects on the evening when the<br />
exhibition closes, i.e. on Sunday, October 7th between 7:00 pm and 12:00 pm.<br />
Please note: Self-propelled equipment and vehicles will only be allowed to operate in the<br />
halls from 7:30 pm on Sunday, October 7th, <strong>2012</strong>.<br />
� Restoration of stand space to original condition – Waste materials from<br />
stand dismantling<br />
Exhibitors must strictly comply with the dismantling times.<br />
The exhibit space must be entirely cleared of all decoration items, equipment and waste materials<br />
(e.g. empty packaging, wood offcuts, empty boxes, empty cans of paint).<br />

� CLEARANCE FOR EQUIPMENT ORIGINATING FROM FOREIGN COUNTRIES<br />
(non-EEC countries)<br />
During the exhibition SILMO, the premises of the <strong>Paris</strong>-<strong>Nord</strong> <strong>Villepinte</strong> exhibition centre are entitled to be<br />
governed by the temporary importation regulations under customs surveillance.<br />
Temporary importation begins on the day when the equipment arrives within the exhibition's precincts and<br />
ends thirty days after the exhibition closure.<br />
Foreign goods must be submitted for inspection to the Customs before being placed on the exhibitors' stands.<br />
� COMMON CUSTOMS TARIFF<br />
Arrival of goods:<br />
Goods must be presented to the Customs under cover of one of the following documents:<br />
A) TIR carnet (International Road Transit)<br />
For vehicles coming directly from abroad where goods have been checked and sealed by the Customs of the<br />
country of origin.<br />
It is reminded that carriers travelling under cover of a TIR carnet covering various goods, only part of which is<br />
intended for the show, must take all necessary measures to ensure that the exhibition's customs office is their<br />
last unloading point. When arriving at the customs office, TIR vehicles must therefore only contain goods<br />
which are intended to be exhibited within the exhibition precincts.<br />
No dispensation shall be granted.<br />
B) Transit Declaration<br />
Issued by Customs at either land, sea or airport frontiers when the goods went through such frontiers.<br />
.<br />
C) International Waybill<br />
D) Transit Document<br />
Documents to be provided together with documents a, b, c and d: Number<br />
CMR waybill (only with TIR carnet) 3<br />
Detailed packing list for each package (gross weight and net weight)<br />
drawn up by the consignor<br />
Proforma invoice in French including unit values 6<br />
Machine description leaflets 2<br />
� TEMPORARY IMPORTATION<br />
(goods from third countries)<br />
The above mentioned documents cannot in any way serve as a substitute for the declaration for temporary<br />
import.<br />
On their arrival at the Exhibition's Customs office, goods must be immediately declared for temporary import<br />
via a customs clearance agent.<br />
After the declaration has been registered, the goods will be checked by the Customs.<br />
Upon completion of the above proce<strong>du</strong>res, the goods will then be allowed to be delivered to the exhibitor's<br />
stand.<br />
During the exhibition, goods must be presented on the stand at any request from the Customs.<br />

Services (suite)<br />
� GOODS EXIT :<br />
At the end of the exhibition no foreign goods from third countries may leave the exhibition precincts unless one<br />
of the following declarations has been previously submitted to the Customs via a customs clearance agent.<br />
Once the goods have been registered, checked and sealed, this declaration will cover their transport.<br />
A) For re-exportation :<br />
The following documents must be submitted for the exit visa: Declarations EX 3 T1.<br />
B) For transit :<br />
To a bonded warehouse where the goods will be placed under permanent customs control: Visa issued by an<br />
international freight forwarder<br />
C) For the sale and supply to consumers of goods firmly purchased by an importer residing<br />
in the French metropolitan customs territory:<br />
depending on indivi<strong>du</strong>al cases, either declaration EU 4 or declaration IM 4.<br />
• Foreign goods which have been exempted from <strong>du</strong>ties for temporary import and which<br />
remain in the French metropolitan territory to be supplied for embassies' consumption must<br />
be declared to the Customs to pay the applicable <strong>du</strong>ties and taxes.<br />
• Only the above mentioned documents can allow the Customs to terminate the temporary<br />
importation proce<strong>du</strong>re. In the event of non termination – either partial or total – of the<br />
temporary importation, legal action would be taken against exhibitors or customs clearance<br />
agents who would be guilty of abstraction of bonded goods.<br />
� ATA CARNET PROCEDURE FOR EXHIBITIONS<br />
(excluding foodstuffs)<br />
Even after it has been endorsed at the EU frontiers, the ATA carnet must be presented to the Customs at the<br />
exhibition centre. It can be used for goods intended to be displayed or used at an exhibition.<br />
The advantage of this international document is that it can be used in place of national documents. Under the<br />
transit proce<strong>du</strong>re goods can be transported from the frontier Customs to the competent Customs office under<br />
cover of a transit voucher of the ATA carnet.<br />
On arrival of the goods at their destination, the Customs discharge the transit voucher and endorse the goods<br />
on the basis of an entry voucher.<br />
At the end of the exhibition, goods are re-exported using a second transit voucher. It is therefore not<br />
necessary to make the usual warehouse entry and re-export declarations. However, in order to be validly used<br />
in the French customs territory the ATA carnet must include:<br />
o ���� 1 importation voucher;<br />
o ���� 1 re-exportation voucher;<br />
o ���� 2 transit vouchers for re-exportation (one remains at the exhibition's customs office,<br />
the other serves as accompanying document).<br />
It should be noted that the deadline for re-exportation is usually one month after the exhibition closure, and it<br />
shall not exceed the expiry date of the ATA carnet. The deadline will be specified by the Customs on the entry<br />
voucher and on the corresponding counterfoil.<br />
On the other hand, consignment sale will not be strictly excluded, on the understanding that, after a<br />
declaration has been made using COM 5, IM 4 or EU 4 forms and goods have been presented to the<br />
Customs, the goods sold on the domestic market can be used for consumption in the same conditions as if<br />
they were covered by national documents.<br />

Stand security and Guarding<br />
The Organizer ensures the general security of the exhibition, in the best conditions. However, this is an<br />
obligation to provide means, and not to achieve results.<br />
Exhibitors who intend to have their stands specifically guarded should inform the Organizer and give the<br />
names of the persons who will be present on the stand, as well as the name and details of the security<br />
company.<br />
There are important risks of theft <strong>du</strong>ring the set-up and dismantling periods.<br />
The exhibitor is responsible for the security operations con<strong>du</strong>cted on his stand. He must take all necessary<br />
measures to protect his equipment and remove it in the evening when the exhibition closes, if he does not<br />
provide for special guarding.<br />

General regulations for trade fairs and<br />
exhibitions in France<br />
CHAPTER 1: GENERAL PROVISIONS<br />
01.01These regulations are of a general nature and apply to<br />
all commercial events organised by members of the<br />
Federation.<br />
All events listed in article R762-4 of the Commercial Code<br />
shall be qualified as commercial events. Each commercial<br />
event is independent from previous or subsequent sessions:<br />
it is a unique event defined by a name, venue, date and<br />
presentation of the offer made to the public usually known<br />
as the “sche<strong>du</strong>le ». Where necessary, these regulations are<br />
supplemented by the particular regulations for each event or<br />
by an “exhibitor guide” or “handbook”.<br />
Particular regulations” means the specific provisions<br />
applicable to the said event, thus supplementing the general<br />
regulations for commercial event. On no account may the<br />
particular regulations contradict the general regulations.<br />
Where necessary they may be supplemented by an<br />
“exhibitor guide” or “handbook”.<br />
“Exhibitor guide” or “handbook” means the document<br />
provided, sent or made available on the Internet by the<br />
organiser at the time of the exhibitor’s application to<br />
participate, containing information relating to the event, the<br />
rules and regulations, forms for ordering services and any<br />
other relevant information relating to the exhibitor’s<br />
participation in the commercial event. It shall be binding in<br />
its entirety on the exhibitor.<br />
“Stand” means the space occupied for the presentation of<br />
pro<strong>du</strong>cts or services or the space used for meeting<br />
customers or colleagues.<br />
“Commercial event catalogue” means an electronic or<br />
hardcopy document containing the list of exhibitors, their<br />
contact details, stand numbers and any other information<br />
relating to the commercial event<br />
« In the event of doubt regarding a definition, the document<br />
“ISO 25639-1 Norme Internationale – Terminologie <strong>du</strong><br />
secteur des foires, salons, congrès ou manifestations<br />
commerciales” should be referred to ».<br />
By signing their application for registration, exhibitors accept<br />
all their regulations as well as all those imposed by<br />
particular or new circumstances. They also undertake to<br />
adhere to all the legal and regulatory provisions in force, in<br />
particular labour legislation and safety regulations.<br />
01.02The organiser alone determines the venue, the<br />
<strong>du</strong>ration, and the opening and closing times of the event,<br />
the price of stands and admissions, as well as the closing<br />
date for registrations. He alone determines the categories of<br />
people or companies allowed to exhibit and/or visit the event<br />
as well as the list of pro<strong>du</strong>cts or services presented.<br />
CHAPTER 2: APPLICATION FOR<br />
PARTICIPATION AND PERMISSION TO<br />
EXHIBIT<br />
02.01The participation application is made by means of the<br />
form provided by the organiser and disseminated in<br />
hardcopy or electronic format. Requests for a participation<br />
application form, dispatch of this form, and/or receipt of shall<br />
not constitute permission to exhibit.<br />
02.02The organiser shall examine the participation<br />
applications and decide on admissions. Admission shall<br />
become effective only when written confirmation has been<br />
sent to the exhibitor.<br />
02.03The organiser shall be the sole arbiter of the definition<br />
and organisation of the offer at its commercial event. The<br />
organiser (or selection committee) therefore reserves the<br />
right to reject, either provisionally or definitively, any<br />
participation application which does not meet the required<br />
conditions, as stipulated on the participation application form<br />
or those in the general regulations for commercial events<br />
and/or the particular regulations or the event’s sche<strong>du</strong>le, or<br />
<strong>du</strong>e to Public Order considerations or the protection of<br />
certain protected interests.<br />
02.<strong>04</strong>Grounds for rejection may include incomplete<br />
provision of the required information, def<strong>au</strong>lt on payments or<br />
guarantees required by the organiser, failure to honour<br />
previous obligations, in particular those arising from these<br />
General Regulations, the unsuitability of the applicant, their<br />
pro<strong>du</strong>cts or services for the purpose, spirit or image of the<br />
event, the legally-enforced liquidation of the exhibitor, their<br />
proven insolvency, failure to obtain administrative or legal<br />
permissions necessary for their presence at the event, the<br />
risk of their presence harming the protected interests of<br />
consumers and young people, and more generally c<strong>au</strong>sing<br />
a disturbance to Public Order, the peace of other exhibitors<br />
and the safety and enjoyment of visitors.<br />
02.05The exhibitor shall inform the organiser of any element<br />
or event, having occurred or been noted since their<br />
participation application, which may be deemed to constitute<br />
grounds for a fresh examination of their participation<br />
application in the light of articles 02.03 and 02.<strong>04</strong> of these<br />
regulations.<br />
02.06In addition, the organiser reserves the right to request<br />
further information relating to the above at any time, and if<br />
necessary review any admission decision made on the<br />
basis of information which is untruthful, erroneous or has<br />
become inaccurate.<br />
The paid deposit then remains with the organiser who<br />
reserves the right, moreover, to demand payment of the<br />
balance of the total fee.<br />
02.<strong>07</strong>The rights acquired through registration are personal<br />
and inalienable. Admission shall not entail any right of<br />
admissibility to other events organised by the organiser.<br />
02.08Unless there is special dispensation from the<br />
organiser at their express request, groups can only exhibit<br />
on collective stands if each member company in the group,<br />
has been admitted indivi<strong>du</strong>ally and has undertaken to pay<br />
the registration fees.<br />
CHAPTER 3: REGISTRATION AND<br />
PARTICIPATION FEES<br />
03.01Applications forms, to avoid being rejecting out of<br />
hand, must be accompanied by the first payment, as<br />
determined by the organiser. Administration and registration<br />
fees may be forfeit to the organiser, irrespective of the<br />
outcome of the participation application<br />
03.02The overall amount of participation fees for the event<br />
shall become the definitive property of the organiser<br />
following the admission decision sent in writing to the<br />
exhibitor. Failure to pay the balance or any instalment<br />
payment by the stipulated deadline, shall, with no prior<br />
notice required, be deemed to constitute termination of the<br />
admission to exhibit, the down payment made remaining the<br />
irrevocable property of the organiser.<br />
SILMO <strong>2012</strong> – 4 October to 7 October – <strong>Paris</strong> <strong>Nord</strong> <strong>Villepinte</strong>
General regulations for trade fairs and exhibitions in France<br />
03.03Furthermore, the organiser reserves the right to<br />
pursue payment of the balance of the price payable,<br />
notwithstanding non-participation, irrespective of the<br />
reasons for this, by the exhibitor admitted to exhibit. In the<br />
event of an exhibitor not occupying their stand for whatever<br />
reason on the day of the opening of the event, or by the setup<br />
deadline set by the organiser, they shall be deemed to<br />
have waived their right to exhibit. Without prejudice to any<br />
other measures taken and to the risk of the exhibitor, the<br />
organiser may use the stand of the def<strong>au</strong>lting exhibitor<br />
without the latter being able to claim either refund, or<br />
compensation, even if the stand is allocated to another<br />
exhibitor.<br />
03.<strong>04</strong>The regulations specific to each event may define the<br />
proce<strong>du</strong>res and conditions according to which the<br />
definitively registered exhibitor will be able, if necessary, to<br />
withdraw.<br />
CHAPTER 4: ALLOCATION OF STAND SITES<br />
<strong>04</strong>.01The organiser establishes the plan of the event and<br />
distributes the sites. The organiser establishes the plan of<br />
the event and distributes the sites.<br />
<strong>04</strong>.02The organiser or selection committee may, pursuant to<br />
the particular regulations for each event, determine a<br />
maximum exhibition area for each type of activity or service<br />
marketed and/or a maximum number of exhibitors.<br />
Acceptance of the participation application of each exhibitor<br />
therefore depends on the spaces remaining vacant in the<br />
relevant sector of business at the time of the participation<br />
application. In order to take into account the specific<br />
characteristics of each event, they nonetheless maintain, in<br />
consideration of objective elements applicable<br />
indiscriminately to all exhibitors, the possibility of altering the<br />
originally planned allocation.<br />
<strong>04</strong>.03Unless otherwise specified by the organiser or<br />
selection committee, admission to exhibit shall not grant any<br />
right to occupy any given site. Participation in previous<br />
events does not presuppose the right of the exhibitor to any<br />
given site.<br />
<strong>04</strong>.<strong>04</strong>In the constitution of lots and allocation of sites, the<br />
organiser or selection committee shall do its utmost to take<br />
into account wishes expressed by exhibitors, the nature and<br />
interest of the articles or services they propose to present<br />
and the layout of the stand they plan to install.<br />
<strong>04</strong>.<strong>04</strong>Where made possible by the event venue, the plans<br />
supplied and designations of lots include measurements<br />
which are as accurate as possible and specify the venues<br />
and types of special event which will be of three <strong>du</strong>ring the<br />
commercial event. Having been informed by the organiser<br />
about the advantages and any drawbacks arising from the<br />
fact that their stand is in the vicinity of special events, and in<br />
the absence of any complaint prior to the beginning of the<br />
commercial event, the exhibitor is deemed to have accepted<br />
such considerations and to have waived their right to take<br />
any action against the organiser <strong>du</strong>e to their immediate<br />
environment about which they did not receive prior<br />
information.<br />
<strong>04</strong>.06In the event of absolute necessity, the organiser<br />
reserves the right to alter the following if they deem this<br />
necessary in the interest of the event, at any time, before<br />
and <strong>du</strong>ring the event, without it being necessary to inform<br />
the exhibitor: the general and particular decoration; opening<br />
times; the programming of special events; provided that<br />
these changes do not constitute a substantial change to the<br />
original contract signed between the organiser and exhibitor.<br />
Should this contract be substantially modified, the organiser<br />
shall do its utmost to find an acceptable solution for the<br />
exhibitor.<br />
CHAPTER 5: INSTALLATION AND<br />
CONFORITY OF STANDS<br />
05.01The specific “exhibitor guide” or “manual” for each<br />
event as defined in article 01.01 shall determine the time<br />
granted to the exhibitor, before the event opens, to proceed<br />
with fitting out their stand and placing there the items they<br />
will need <strong>du</strong>ring the event.<br />
05.02. Throughout the set-up period, the exhibitor is<br />
required to adhere to the “professional charter for organising<br />
health and safety at work in situations of co-activity <strong>du</strong>ring<br />
set-up and break-down operations for commercial events”<br />
drafted by FSCEF and adopted at the general meeting on 2<br />
July 2010.<br />
05.03The exhibitor is required to conform to the organiser's<br />
instructions relating to the regulation of entry and exit of<br />
goods, in particular concerning the movement of vehicles<br />
within the enclosure of the event.<br />
05.<strong>04</strong>Exhibitors or their agents, must have finished their<br />
installation on the dates and times set by the organiser; after<br />
these dates and times, no packaging, equipment, transport<br />
vehicle or outside contractor be granted access to, be held<br />
or remain in the event venue, for any reason and<br />
irrespective of any adverse consequences for the exhibitor.<br />
05.05Each exhibitor, or their agents, shall provide for the<br />
transport, receipt and dispatch of their packages or other<br />
items dispatched as well as the recognition of their contents.<br />
All packages and other items dispatched shall be<br />
unwrapped on arrival. If exhibitors or their agents are not<br />
present to receive their packages or other items dispatched,<br />
in view of the attendant liability, the organiser shall refuse<br />
packages and other items dispatched to the exhibitor in their<br />
absence, unless specified otherwise in the contract. The<br />
exhibitor may not claim compensation for any loss <strong>du</strong>e to<br />
receive their packages or other items dispatched to them.<br />
05.06The installation of stands must not, under any<br />
circumstances, damage or modify the permanent<br />
installations of the exhibition site, nor must they be<br />
detrimental to the convenience or safety of other exhibitors<br />
and of visitors. The exhibitor shall bear the cost of any<br />
damage c<strong>au</strong>sed by them. In this respect, the exhibitor shall<br />
take out damage insurance.<br />
05.<strong>07</strong>Particular decoration of stands shall be carried out by<br />
exhibitors who shall assume full responsibility for same. This<br />
decoration must not impede the visibility of signs and safety<br />
equipment and must blend in with the general decorations of<br />
the event, not hinder the visibility of neighbouring stands<br />
and not be in breach of any stipulations in the particular<br />
regulations of the organiser, the host venue and/or the<br />
“exhibitor guide” or “handbook”.<br />
05.08In the exhibition spaces, all the materials used,<br />
including hangings and carpets, shall comply with the<br />
regulations in force; the organiser reserves the right to have<br />
any non-conforming material or installation removed or<br />
destroyed at any time at the expense of the exhibitor.<br />
05.09At its own initiative or at the request of a penalised<br />
exhibitor, the organiser reserves the right, before the<br />
opening and <strong>du</strong>ring the event, to have removed or altered<br />
installations which are detrimental to the overall aspect of<br />
the event, which inconvenience neighbouring exhibitors, or<br />
which do not comply with the previously submitted particular<br />
plans or projects. The organiser shall be the sole arbiter for<br />
such matters and is bound only by an obligation of means if<br />
it decides to intervene in response to a request made by a<br />
penalised exhibitor.<br />
05.10The exhibitor shall be present or shall mandate a <strong>du</strong>ly<br />
<strong>au</strong>thorised person to be present on their stand <strong>du</strong>ring the<br />
inspection of the safety department, and shall comply,<br />
throughout the event, with the safety measures imposed by<br />
the Public Authorities and safety measures taken by the<br />
organiser or site manager, and adhere to the “professional<br />
charter for organising health and safety at work in situations<br />
of co-activity <strong>du</strong>ring set-up and break-down operations for<br />
commercial events ».<br />

CHAPTER 6: OCCUPATION AND USE OF<br />
STANDS<br />
06.01Exhibitors participating in the event are expressly<br />
prohibited from subletting, exchanging all or part of the site<br />
allocated by the organiser, whether free of charge or against<br />
payment.<br />
06.02 Without the prior written <strong>au</strong>thorisation of the<br />
organiser, the exhibitor cannot present any materials,<br />
pro<strong>du</strong>cts or services on his site other than those listed in his<br />
admission application and which correspond to the list of<br />
pro<strong>du</strong>cts or services established by the organiser. Unless<br />
otherwise expressly stipulated, the presentation and<br />
provision of second-hand equipment are strictly prohibited.<br />
06.03The exhibitor may not, in any form whatsoever,<br />
present pro<strong>du</strong>cts or services or make publicity for<br />
companies or contractors who are not exhibitors, without the<br />
prior written <strong>au</strong>thorisation of the organiser.<br />
The exhibitor may not advertise in any form whatsoever – it<br />
being understood that having a stand is not a form of<br />
advertising – for a practitioner or establishment belonging to<br />
a regulated profession, whose official national body<br />
representing the profession has advertising restrictions in<br />
place.<br />
06.<strong>04</strong>. The upkeep of the stands must remain impeccable<br />
throughout the event. Each stand must be cleaned each day<br />
at the exhibitor's expense before opening of the event to the<br />
public<br />
06.05The rental of a stand does not constitute a deposit<br />
contract. In the event of theft on a stand, the exhibitor may<br />
not hold the organiser liable.<br />
06.06. Exhibitors must not dismantle their stand and must<br />
not withdraw any of their articles before the end of the<br />
event, even if the event is prolonged.<br />
The organiser’s particular regulations may supplement this<br />
article with the application of a deposit policy.<br />
06.<strong>07</strong>Any bulk packaging, covers used <strong>du</strong>ring closing times<br />
and objects not being used for the presentation of the stand<br />
as well as the staff cloakroom, must be out of sight of the<br />
visitors. It is also forbidden to leave exhibits covered <strong>du</strong>ring<br />
opening hours of the event. The organiser reserves the right<br />
to remove anything that would cover objects without being<br />
held responsible for any damage or loss which may result.<br />
06.08Failure to adhere to any of these provisions shall be<br />
noted in writing by the organiser. This may serve as grounds<br />
for refusal for the exhibitor to participate in future events.<br />
CHAPTER 7: ACCESS TO THE EVENT<br />
<strong>07</strong>.01 No-one will be allowed into the enclosure of the event<br />
before presenting a certificate issued by the organiser or<br />
being admitted by him directly.<br />
<strong>07</strong>.02 The organiser reserves the right to ban admittance or<br />
have evicted any person, visitor or exhibitor whose<br />
presence or behaviour are deemed to represent a threat to<br />
the safety, peace or image or the event and/or the integrity<br />
of the site.<br />
<strong>07</strong>.03 Organisers or site managers who hold a category II,<br />
III or IV licence and an operating permit to serve alcoholic<br />
beverages shall refuse their sale to minors under 18 years<br />
of age. In the event of an accident c<strong>au</strong>sed by drunkenness<br />
the licence-holder shall be liable.<br />
<strong>07</strong>.<strong>04</strong> Smoking is strictly prohibited within public access<br />
premises other than in specific areas.<br />
Smoking outside designated areas shall be subject to a set<br />
fine of 68 euros (category 3 offence). Failure to implement<br />
the standards applicable to designated areas or the relevant<br />
signage shall be subject to a set fine of 135 euros (category<br />
4 offence). Knowingly encouraging breach of the smoking<br />
ban shall also be subject to a category 4 offence; the<br />
penalty is not a set fine, as this offence must be<br />
substantiated. It shall entail a report made to the public<br />
prosecutor’s office, which will decide whether or not to press<br />
charges.<br />
<strong>07</strong>.05 Admission tickets for the event shall be issued to<br />
exhibitors under the conditions determined by the organiser.<br />
<strong>07</strong>.06 Invitation cards intended for people or companies that<br />
the exhibitor wishes to invite are issued to exhibitors under<br />
conditions determined by the organiser. Unused admission<br />
tickets may not be returned, refunded or exchanged.<br />
<strong>07</strong>.<strong>07</strong> The distribution and/or sale of admission tickets<br />
issued by the organiser or by the exhibitor, free or against<br />
payment, is strictly prohibited. The repro<strong>du</strong>ction or sale of<br />
these admission tickets is liable to prosecution.<br />
CHAPTER 8: CONTACT AND<br />
COMMUNICATION WITH THE PUBLIC<br />
08.01 Exhibitors and their staff must be dressed<br />
appropriately and behave appropriately toward all persons:<br />
visitors (no hustling for customers, no encroachment outside<br />
the stand), other exhibitors, organisers, watchmen,<br />
hostesses or all other service providers.<br />
Any failure to observe this provision will be the subject of a<br />
written report by the organiser, which may also give him the<br />
right to deny the exhibitor participation in future events.<br />
08.02 The stand shall be constantly occupied by the<br />
exhibitor or their representative <strong>du</strong>ring exhibitor opening<br />
hours (including set-up, deliveries and break-down) and<br />
constantly <strong>du</strong>ring official visitor opening hours.<br />
Any failure to observe this provision will be the subject of a<br />
written report by the organiser, which may also give him the<br />
right to deny the exhibitor participation in future events.<br />
08.03 The organiser alone retains the right to pro<strong>du</strong>ce,<br />
publish and circulate the exhibitor catalogue for the event,<br />
whether free of charge or against payment. He will be able<br />
to concede all or part of this right as well as the publicity<br />
included in this catalogue. Information necessary for drafting<br />
the catalogue will be provided by the exhibitors at their<br />
responsibility and, at the risk of not being inserted, within the<br />
time limit allowed by the organiser.<br />
08.<strong>04</strong> The organiser may, without their specific agreement,<br />
include exhibitors’ company names on informational<br />
documents, including in visitor and/or exhibitor catalogues<br />
and on their website.<br />
Organisers who wish to circulate the personal details of<br />
exhibitors supplied at registration on informational<br />
documents shall inform them before doing so.<br />
However, the organiser shall ask exhibitors at the time of<br />
registration, for their agreement to use their image<br />
(tradename, logo, pro<strong>du</strong>cts or services, photos of the stand)<br />
and their name for advertising and promotion purposes for<br />
the commercial event, in any format and prospection<br />
document. Having given their agreement, the exhibitor is<br />
deemed to have obtained the agreement of their employees<br />
and/or subcontractors for any use of their image by the<br />
organiser <strong>du</strong>ring the commercial event.<br />
If such an agreement exists, no claim may be made against<br />
the organiser, pro<strong>du</strong>cer or distributor for the dissemination<br />
of exhibitors’ image, that of their stand, tradename, brand,<br />
staff, pro<strong>du</strong>cts or services, for the purposes of the event, in<br />
France or abroad, by television, video or any other media<br />
including virtual media (books, leaflets).<br />
08.05 The organiser reserves the exclusive right to display<br />
posters within the confines of the event. Within the confines<br />
of their stand, exhibitors may use only posters and signs for<br />
their own company, as designated on registration for the<br />
commercial event, to the exclusion of any others, within the<br />
limits of the provisions relating to general decoration.<br />
The organiser may have posters and signs which do not<br />
comply with this provision removed.<br />
08.06 Circulars, booklets, catalogues, printed papers, gifts<br />
or objects of any nature, may be distributed by exhibitors<br />
only on their stand. No brochure relating to pro<strong>du</strong>cts, brands<br />

08.<strong>07</strong> The distribution or sale of newspapers, periodicals,<br />
leaflets, tombola tickets, badges, market surveys queries or<br />
participation vouchers are prohibited, even if associated with<br />
a charity or charitable event, on the site of the event or its<br />
immediate surroundings, unless otherwise specified by the<br />
organiser.<br />
08.08 Any illuminated or <strong>au</strong>dible advertising, and any<br />
special events, shows or demonstrations liable to result in<br />
people gathering in the aisles, shall be submitted for the<br />
prior approval of the organiser, who may reconsider<br />
permission which may have been granted in the event of<br />
circulation being impeded and/or inconvenience to<br />
neighbouring exhibitors and the event.<br />
08.09 Advertisement by calling out or touting, in any way<br />
whatsoever, is strictly prohibited. The exhibitors must not<br />
block the aisles or encroach on them under any<br />
circumstances, unless exceptional prior written <strong>au</strong>thorisation<br />
has been obtained from the organiser.<br />
08.10 The exhibitors must take scrupulous care to inform<br />
the public honestly as to the quality, price, sale and<br />
guarantee conditions of their pro<strong>du</strong>cts or services in a<br />
complete and objective way and in compliance with the<br />
regulations. They must not make any publicity or perform<br />
any action likely to misinform or constitute unfair<br />
competition.<br />
Exhibitors are informed that purchases made at the<br />
commercial event are not subject to articles L 311-10 and L<br />
311-15 of the Consumer Code (seven-day cooling-off<br />
period) except for those for which a consumer loan is taken<br />
out and those resulting from a personal invitation to come to<br />
a stand to receive a gift.<br />
Any exhibitor c<strong>au</strong>ght in the act of claiming otherwise may<br />
c<strong>au</strong>se the organiser to take sanctions up to and including<br />
immediate closure of the stand.<br />
08.11 Exhibitors undertake to present only pro<strong>du</strong>cts,<br />
services or equipment which comply with French and EU<br />
regulations. They accept full liability for their pro<strong>du</strong>cts with<br />
respect to third parties; the organiser declines all liability for<br />
exhibitors failing to abide by these laws.<br />
08.12 Whenever necessary, it will be up to each exhibitor to<br />
complete the formalities required for participation in the<br />
event, in particular as regards work regulations, customs<br />
proce<strong>du</strong>res for materials or pro<strong>du</strong>cts from outside France<br />
and with respect to food and animal hygiene.<br />
CHAPTER 9 “INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY”;<br />
OPERATING AND MARKETING RIGHTS<br />
09.01 In accordance with the Charter against intellectual<br />
property infringement adopted by the FSCEF general<br />
meeting in July 2008 , any exhibitor who wishes to take<br />
administrative or legal action for infringement against a<br />
competing exhibitor, shall undertake to inform the organiser<br />
of the event or its designated correspondent beforehand, to<br />
adopt fair behaviour and to act in good faith.<br />
09.02 The exhibitor shall be responsible for the protection of<br />
intellection property, operating and marketing rights for the<br />
equipment, pro<strong>du</strong>cts and services displayed by them<br />
(patents, brands, models, etc.), in accordance with the legal<br />
and regulatory provisions in force. These measures must be<br />
taken before the presentation of the materials, pro<strong>du</strong>cts or<br />
services. The organiser will not accept liability in this regard,<br />
particularly in the event of litigation with another exhibitor or<br />
a visitor.<br />
09.03 Each exhibitor shall be responsible for fulfilling their<br />
obligations towards the S.A.C.E.M if they use music on their<br />
stand and in their own special events, including for<br />
demonstrations of <strong>au</strong>dio equipment; the organiser declines<br />
all liability in this respect.<br />
09.<strong>04</strong> Unless specified otherwise by the organiser or<br />
following written permission issued by it, photos and video<br />
footage other than those specific to the exhibitor’s stand are<br />
not allowed in the event venue. Accreditation shall constitute<br />
written permission to take photos and video footage subject<br />
to non-violation of third parties’ image rights.<br />
09.05 The photographing of certain objects on the stands<br />
may be prohibited at the request and diligence of the<br />
exhibitors.<br />
CHAPTER 10 « INSURANCE »<br />
10.01In addition to the insurance covering exhibited objects<br />
and more generally all items belonging to him, whether<br />
mobile or otherwise, the exhibitor is required to take out total<br />
or third- party insurance covering the risks that he and his<br />
personnel may incur, at his own expense, either with his<br />
own insurer or with the insurer approved by the organiser,.<br />
He must support this when his registration is confirmed by<br />
pro<strong>du</strong>cing the relevant certificate. The organiser will be<br />
considered free of all liabilities, in particular in the event of<br />
any loss, theft or damage.<br />
10.02 For his protection, the organiser can, if necessary,<br />
require the exhibitor to take out his insurance only with an<br />
insurer appointed by the organiser, who will then specify his<br />
rates and conditions.<br />
CHAPTER 11: BREAK-DOWN OF STANDS<br />
AT THE END OF THE COMMERCIAL EVENT<br />
11.01 The exhibitor, or his <strong>du</strong>ly <strong>au</strong>thorised representative, is<br />
required to be present on his stand from the start of<br />
dismantling until it has been entirely cleared.<br />
11.02 During the break-down period, the exhibitor is<br />
required to observe the “professional charter for organising<br />
health and safety at work in situations of co-activity <strong>du</strong>ring<br />
set-up and break-down operations for commercial events”<br />
drawn up by FSCEF.<br />
11.03 The removal of stands, goods, articles and particular<br />
decorations, along with any remaining waste from materials<br />
used to decorate the stands, shall be carried out by the<br />
exhibitors within the timescale and hours allowed by the<br />
organiser in accordance with the laws, regulations and local<br />
practices regarding waste. Beyond these deadlines, the<br />
organiser will be able to have the materials transported to a<br />
furniture depository of his choice, at the exhibitor's expense<br />
and risks and without assuming liability for any damage or<br />
loss, whether total or partial.<br />
11.<strong>04</strong> Exhibitors must leave the sites, decorations and<br />
materials placed at their disposal in the state in which they<br />
found them. The cost of making good any damage c<strong>au</strong>sed<br />
by installations or goods to equipment, the building or to the<br />
occupied floorspace shall be borne by the exhibitors<br />
responsible, on presentation of proofs of expenditure.<br />
CHAPTER 12: LOSSES<br />
12.01 Loss” here means “material or moral damage suffered<br />
by a person and c<strong>au</strong>sed by a third party ».<br />
During a commercial event, the type of losses liable to occur<br />
may include the following:<br />
• Between exhibitors<br />
• between exhibitors/organisers<br />
• between organisers/exhibitors<br />
• between organisers/customers<br />
12.02 When a loss to an exhibitor is c<strong>au</strong>sed by another<br />
exhibitor, they shall both, whenever possible, attempt to<br />
settle the conflict, in a responsible fashion ». The organiser<br />
shall be kept informed of the conflict but is under no<br />
obligation to act as mediator or arbitrator. Its role is to check<br />
that the contractual provisions binding it to the exhibitor are<br />
adhered to. If one of the parties decides to appeal to an<br />
<strong>au</strong>thority, they shall inform the organiser in order to protect<br />
the image of the commercial event as far as possible.<br />
SILMO <strong>2012</strong> – 4 October to 7 October – <strong>Paris</strong> <strong>Nord</strong> <strong>Villepinte</strong>
General regulations for trade fairs and exhibitions in France<br />
12.03 If a loss arises from a conflict between an organiser<br />
and an exhibitor and this affects an exhibitor, the exhibitor<br />
shall make a written request to the organiser. The organiser<br />
shall reply to the request of the exhibitor as soon as<br />
possible provided that the request is legitimate and<br />
grounded; it is bound only by an obligation of means.<br />
12.<strong>04</strong> If the exhibitor’s loss affects the organiser, the<br />
organiser shall make a formal demand for them to cease<br />
and desist. Any failure to observe this provision will be the<br />
subject of a written report by the organiser, which may also<br />
give him the right to deny the exhibitor participation in future<br />
events.<br />
12.05The organiser shall be required to provide general<br />
information about the overall running of its commercial<br />
event.<br />
12.06The organiser shall not intervene in disputes which<br />
may occur between an exhibitor and a customer and<br />
declines all liability for disputes which may occur between<br />
exhibitors and visitors.<br />
CHAPTER 13: VARIOUS PROVISIONS<br />
13.01The organiser may cancel or postpone the event if he<br />
notes a manifestly insufficient number of registered<br />
exhibitors. The registered exhibitor is then refunded the<br />
amount of his deposit or his participation fee. Until the date<br />
limit for registrations, the exhibitor assumes responsibility for<br />
all risks related to the event's possibly not taking place and<br />
in particular the exclusive responsibility for expenses which<br />
he may have incurred in preparation for the event.<br />
13.02The organiser can also cancel or postpone the event<br />
<strong>du</strong>e to Force Majeure or any c<strong>au</strong>se beyond his control.<br />
The following constitute force majeure circumstances,<br />
providing grounds at any time for the cancellation or<br />
postponement of the event: any new circumstances<br />
pertaining to health, the climate, the economy, politics or<br />
society on a local, national or international level which<br />
cannot be reasonably foreseen at the time of advertising the<br />
event to exhibitors, and which are beyond the control of the<br />
organiser, which make impossible the performance of the<br />
event or which imply risk of disturbance or disorder liable to<br />
seriously affect the organisation and smooth running of the<br />
event or the safety of indivi<strong>du</strong>als or property. Any<br />
postponement of the event and/or the final status of sums<br />
paid are specified in the particular regulations of each<br />

Disabled access within exhibitions<br />
PREAMBLE<br />
Making a location accessible means to enable persons in a<br />
temporary or prolonged condition of handicap to exercise<br />
their rights as citizens, and offer well-being for all.<br />
Accessibility forms part of the general building rules, in the<br />
same way as safety does. The dimensional aspects that<br />
characterise it have been defined on the basis of a standard<br />
occupied wheel chair. This size makes it possible to make<br />
arrangements likely to satisfy the functional requirements of<br />
all persons with re<strong>du</strong>ced mobility.<br />
In accordance with the legislative and regulatory provisions<br />
in force, the effective implementation of accessibility must<br />
be translated by the possibility:<br />
• of moving around without knocking into obstacles created<br />
by designers or other building professionals<br />
• of accessing buildings of all descriptions<br />
• of using all the service provisions placed at the disposal<br />
of the general public.<br />
Accessibility does not eliminate physical deficiency but it<br />
should contribute to abolishing disadvantages. It makes it<br />
possible to preserve a degree of independence for those<br />
who are affected by a motor deficiency.<br />
Accessibility is an essential condition for safety,<br />
independence and the social integration of persons with<br />
re<strong>du</strong>ced mobility.<br />
Accessibility of establishments and facilities open to the<br />
general public.<br />

Circular no. 94.55 of July 7, 1994 (BO Equipment facilities<br />
no. 94/20)<br />
GENERAL REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS<br />
1. Horizontal circulation<br />
The route that is the most easily negotiable should be the<br />
most common or one of the most common routes. It must<br />
lead as directly as possible and without interruption from<br />
the limit of the defined building permit or works areas to the<br />
spaces or installations open to the public.<br />
The floors must not be soft or slippery and must present no<br />
obstacles to the passage of wheels. Throughout its length it<br />
should ideally be horizontal with no irregularities. If a slope<br />
is unavoidable, the values on the drawing opposite are<br />
acceptable. Any uneven surface must be crossed by a<br />
sloping surface if there is no lift. The positioning of the<br />
handrail does not apply to bays.<br />
Horizontal rest landings of a minimum length of 1.40m, not<br />
including clearance for doors, are required every 10m for<br />
ramps of between 4% and 5%, at the top and bottom of<br />
each slope in front of all doors and inside each double<br />
entrance door.<br />
Changes in floor level, or lips, must be rounded or<br />
chamfered. The minimum distance is 2.50m between two<br />
lips. Slopes with "coltsfoot" steps or successive lips are<br />
forbidden.<br />
If a transverse or sideways slope cannot be avoided, it must<br />
be under 2%. The minimum width of passageways is<br />
1.40m (1.20m if there are no walls on either side).<br />
Care must be taken to avoid grills, gaps and holes that<br />
present an obstacle to wheels or walking sticks (see<br />
diagram below).<br />
Visually impaired persons must be able to detect various<br />
obstacles with their stick while moving around, and for the<br />
partially sighted, obstacles must be in colours that contrast<br />
with their immediate surroundings.<br />
DIMENSION AND QUALITY REQUIREMENTS<br />
2. Vertical circulations (and raised stand)<br />
LIFTS<br />
Accessible lifts are obligatory if:<br />
• the establishment can receive fifty persons on the upper<br />
floor.<br />
• the facility receives fewer than fifty persons when<br />
services cannot be provided on the ground floor or at<br />
access level.<br />
The lift is deemed to be practicable if its characteristics<br />
allow use by a person in a wheelchair (see diagram below).<br />
Sliding doors are obligatory.<br />
The controls are at a maximum height of 1.30m and<br />
stopping position accuracy is ±2cm maximum<br />
If the lift has more than one entrance, the minimal<br />
dimensions required are 1m (parallel to each door) x 1, 30m<br />
(perpendicular to each door).<br />
The lift must be validated by an inspection bure<strong>au</strong><br />
subsequent to assembly.<br />

Disabled access at the Exhibition (Cont'd)<br />
STAIRS<br />
Unless there is also a lift, one of the staircases must be<br />
suitable for use by re<strong>du</strong>ced-mobility persons who have<br />
difficulty moving about.<br />
The minimum width is 1.20m if there is no wall, 1.30m if<br />
there is a wall on one side and 1.40m if it is between two<br />
walls. The maximum height of the steps is 16cm and the<br />
minimum stair width is 28cm.<br />
The front edges of the steps must be clearly visible.<br />
Stairs of more than three steps, whether inside or outside,<br />
must have handrails on both sides.<br />
The handrail extends beyond the first and last steps of each<br />
flight.<br />
Comments<br />
• The width of the staircase is measured between<br />
handrails when there are no walls and between handrail<br />
and wall when there is only one wall.<br />
• On a curved or circular staircase, the step width is<br />
measured in an area situated between 0.60m from the<br />
inner side and 0.60m from the outer side.<br />
• Whether inside or outside, any staircase without a<br />
corresponding lift must be accompanied by a ramp.<br />
TABLE, BANK, TICKET OFFICE<br />
The height of at least one of the ticket offices, counters etc.,<br />
where they exist, must be accessible to persons with<br />
re<strong>du</strong>ced mobility (room for arms and knees).<br />
An area with minimum dimensions of 1.30m x 0.80m must<br />
be provided in front of or beside each accessible table or<br />
ticket office.<br />
Recommendations<br />
• Persons with walking difficulties should be offered the<br />
possibility of sitting down in all places where the public<br />
are required to wait (offices, waiting rooms, etc.).<br />
• The installation of various sound amplification and<br />
transmission systems would be desirable, to be able to<br />
cater for persons with hearing impairments.<br />
• Sound alarms must have corresponding light signs and<br />
vice versa.<br />
3. Signposting<br />
The international symbol for disabled accessibility, of a<br />
stylised side view of a person sitting in a wheelchair, will be<br />
the only sign used to indicate re<strong>du</strong>ced-mobility facilities that<br />
are not easy to find.<br />
Comments<br />
• Parking spaces are indicated by panels and only public<br />
transport vehicles for persons of re<strong>du</strong>ced mobility or<br />
vehicles displaying the "GIG" or "GIC" initials may park in<br />
thesespecially provided spaces.<br />
