FAQs

Maximum construction height for stand buildings and advertising supports may be gleaned from the table below. These limits shall
be valid unless any other regulations were laid down in admission or participation conditions. Exhibits shall not be subject to these
rules. The maximum possible construction height in Hall 6 is 8.00 m. *The maximum height for constructions on stand spaces
directly adjacent to the Gallery is 6.00 m. There may be structural installations (inspection openings) and if so, these shall have to
be kept accessible. With two-storey constructions, approval of the exhibitors on the neighbouring stands is required if the construction of the second storey is open or transparent. Advertising directed at neighbouring stands must respect a minimum distance of 3 metres. Stands may be erected with a stand owner's own material.

Stand walls higher than 4 metres must be dimensioned with an equivalent distributed load qh in the horizontal direction:
qh1 = 0,125 kN/m² up to 4 metres in height from the upper edge of the hall floor
qh2 = 0,063 kN/m² for all space higher than 4 metres above the upper edge of the hall floor.

ATTENTION: Maximum construction height applies in all halls adjacent to hall borders (= stand areas along the walls where restaurants are located). The maximum construction height there is 3.2 m. Please refer to the stand drawing in your admission documents.

For several trade fairs, there may exist exeptions / alterations. Please have a look at the chapter Specifics/Alterations" to the trade fair in this portal.

The order forms for services are generally online, when the accreditation will be sent. The order forms must be completely filled in and returned by the specified deadlines. In case of delay, Messe Düsseldorf cannot guarantee handling in due form, and time and/or the services may not be executable anymore.

In addition, any orders and changes or modifications received within 21 days of the commencement of build-up will be subject to a 35% surcharge. The same applies for services utilised but not ordered in advance. Services already rendered must be paid in full. Further circulars on the preparation for and implementation of the event will be sent to exhibitors where required. Such circulars are part of the conditions of participation and these technical guidelines.

Please note that for trade fairs starting in 2024 we will have to charge a small inspection fee (2024: 105.00 euros) due to the increasing inspection effort for structures that do not require approval. Provided that the Technical Guidelines are observed in the design and implementation of the stand, single-storey stand constructions in exhibition halls do further not require the submission of drawings for clearance.
