What stand construction regulation for transport logistic should I comply with?

Halls, General

One-story construction
The maximum upper edge is 7.5 m. The maximum advertising height (upper edge) is 7.50 m.

To maintain transport logistic character as a communications platform and work exhibition, exhibitors must make sure that their stands have an open design. Messe München GmbH is entitled to prescribe changes in stand design in this context. Stand designs can only be approved if the open sides of the stand have a uniformly open design.

Erecting closed walls is permitted, provided they do not take up more than 70% of the stand side in question, and completely closed walls may be no more than 6 m in length. A closed length of wall measuring 6 m must be followed by an opening at least 2 m wide. This clearance width of 2 m must also be observed in the case of an exhibit which acts like a continuous, closed wall (e.g. container, trailer etc.).

The rear side of the walls of your stand above a height of 2.5 m must be of a neutral design, white, smooth, clean and free of installation materials. Only such materials as are opaque and impervious to light are permitted for this purpose (no textiles).

Advertising hoardings that extend above the walls of the stand must be at least 2 m away from the immediately adjacent stand. Advertising may not feature flashing or alternating lights.

It is not permitted to extend the stand design over the aisles. Messe München GmbH reserves the right to allow exceptions to this ruling in individual, well-founded cases.

The use of balloons, airships and other flying objects, e.g. drones, is generally prohibited in the halls and outdoor exhibition area. Exceptions require the prior written permission of the Technical Exhibition Services Division of Messe München. Only firmly anchored balloons with a diameter up to one meter are approvable. To the extent that approval is granted, the balloons and airships may only be filled with non-flammable, non-toxic gases. It must be ensured at all times that the balloon is kept within the stand boundaries, maintaining a distance of 2 m to all stand walls and does not exceed the maximum advertising height of 7.5 m.

Outdoor exhibition area

Structural elements, stand signs and flags must be designed such that they do not constitute an unreasonable disturbance for neighboring stands. Misleading company signs must be removed at the request of the Exhibition Management.

When carrying out any stand set-up work, attention should be given to existing supply lines, distribution boxes, hydrants, light masts, etc. If such facilities are located on the premises of individual stands, access to them must be assured at all times.

To prevent any damages, no underground work may be started without prior consultation of Messe München GmbH’s Technical Exhibition Services Division. Exhibitors whose stands border on the perimeter of the exhibition grounds may not use the fencing for stand set-up purposes. The outside fencing may not be used for advertising purposes.

All exhibits to be erected in the outdoor exhibition area reaching a height of more than 10 m require the prior approval of Messe München GmbH’s Technical Exhibition Services Division (TAS) and must be registered with TAS via the respective exhibitor services order form 12 weeks prior to the commencement of the fair at the latest.

Further regulations are listed in the application form in “Technical Guidelines” and under B7 in “Special Terms of Participation”

When is the planning approval by Messe München GmbH necessary?

The planning approval is necessary in the following cases: for stand designs for two-storey constructions, for stands larger than 100 m², stand structures exceeding 3 m or for stands with covering/canopy. Stand concepts meeting this requirements are to be submitted in duplicate for approval to Messe München GmbH’s TAS, containing to-scale stand design plans (ground plan, elevations and sectional drawings) no later than March 14, 2023.
