See-through glazed panels or other such features instead of a physical break are not permitted, as they form a physical barrier.
  • The stands and walls must be neatly finished from all sides, also from above. Please be aware that:
    • Before getting the approval to build, it is mandatory to submit to the Health & Safety Officer of the Show a detailed plan of how all stand’ sides are planned to be finished, including a description of materials, measurements and others.
    • The Health & Safety Officer will also inspect all stands prior to opening to ensure they’re neatly completed on all sides.
  • All advertising and logos must be within the specific height limits and must not be sited on the rear or dividing walls, especially where they overhang an adjoining, lower-height, stand.

    • made of one of the following materials:
      • same material as the front of the walls

Waste disposal

During the assembly and dismantling phases, it is the obligation of the outfitting companies to remove their waste daily, removing it from the exhibition area independently or appointing its own supplier, who transports it to recovery or disposal plants, according to current legislation. Therefore, during these periods, ecological areas or bins that can be purchased directly from Fiera Milano are not available. With reference to the Technical Regulations, it is forbidden for fitters to leave any kind of waste, both in the assigned space and in the internal and external common areas (lanes, roads, etc.). This obligation is extended to all waste materials and waste materials from assembly and dismantling work (packaging, materials used such as walls, false ceilings, floor coverings, etc.). In the event of waste being abandoned in the pavilions or inside the Exhibition Centre, Fiera Milano will apply a penalty of up to € 5,000.00 (five thousand/00), without prejudice to compensation for greater damages, also reserving the right to remove the responsible staff from the district and to proceed legally.

For the management of their waste, fitters can contact the companies authorized to manage waste, registered in the National Register of Environmental Managers, which can be consulted at Albo Nazionale Gestori Ambientali. For reasons of knowledge of the district and of the exhibition activities, for the management of waste during the assembly and dismantling phases, we would like to point out the following company, which has been a supplier of Fiera Milano for waste management in recent years, which also has an office inside the Service Center at room n.28 and is reported in the Fiera Milano Exhibitor Services.: 

AMI SERVICE S.R.L. Centro Servizi del Quartiere Fieristico, SS 33 del Sempione n. 28 – Rho (MI) Via Traiano Marco Ulpio, 70 - 20149 Milano (MI) -Autorizzazione numero MI/054349 - +39 347.2633923 - ami.service@hotmail.it; info@amiservicesrl.com

In any case, the appointed company can be easily accredited and it is possible to activate the service of housing any containers/containers for the collection and transport of waste. During event days, there are specially equipped areas outside the pavilions dedicated to the separate collection of waste (separate separation rules attached). It is only possible to deposit urban waste: paper, cardboard, plastic, organic fraction and glass-cans, which Fiera Milano sends to the public collection circuit of the Municipality of Rho. The floor plan will be sent to you 1 month in advance, depending on when the active refreshment areas for the event are defined.

Electrical

It is mutually understood and agreed that the organiser shall use proper and reasonable care to have all power services installed in time for the opening of the show. Proper and reasonable care shall be taken to prevent the interruption of power services during the exhibition. However, the organiser shall not be held responsible for late installation or interruption that may occur.

Please note that in order to comply with Italian Law, raw stand exhibitors have to request an inspection service of the electrical installations via the webshop of our official standbuilder Fiera Milano Rho.

This will be provided by the venue and can be ordered in the venue webshop. Please click here for the floor plan with the stands that will require a ceiling drop, marked in red.

Complex / non-complex stands

Complex Stand

It is imperative that exhibitors submit their proposed stand design no later than 30th August 2024 to allow time for checking and any alterations necessary prior to the venue management cut-off date. Responsibility lies ultimately with the exhibitor to comply with these regulations and ensure the safety of their stand.

Complex Stands comprehend any construction that demands the development with a competent professional on its design, calculation and also needs a solidity certification or an assessment of significant risks.

Your stand is a Complex Stand if it:

  • Platforms and stages over 0.30cm in height;  
  • Features temporary tiered seating;  
  • Features stairs or staircases; 
  • Multi storey/double decker stands

Please note that a complex stands will require consent and inspection, and are subject to additional cost which will be charged directly via Fiera Milano Rho. Any costs incurred will be invoiced to the exhibitor and not to the stand constructor. After the stand plans have been inspected, one copy will be stamped as having received permission and returned to the exhibitor / stand constructor if accepted. Stand construction may not commence until the plans have been stamped as having received permission.   

 

Required documentation:

A project describing the construction of the structure, including materials, measurements, load transmission to the hall floor, its height and location. A structural project with static calculations by a Italian competent technician must be provided. Verification of the solidity and stability of the structure against wind (for outdoors structures), static loads, usage loads, etc.

Risk assessment of the structure during build-up and dismantling will also be requested.

Any rigged/suspended structure classed as a complex structure will require additional checks and will be subject to a complex fee – see below:

  • Full drawings of the structure including materials used, suspension points, eye bolts, steel cables or chains, trusses, fixings, attachments, and adjoining methods.
  • Structural calculations report (must be in English) produced by a Italian qualified certified structural engineer and written confirmation from an independent structural engineer, with adequate professional indemnity cover, that the design is safe for its purpose (must be in English).
  • Once the documents are submitted, the engineer must sign off your rigged/suspended structure before it can be lifted. It cannot be raised if any of these elements are not provided and the permission received.
