2. While the Management Office may request materials showing your structural calculations; setting the design conditions is the responsibility of exhibitors, so be sure to take safety aspects fully into consideration when doing so.
3. Make sure to fill in Structural designer in the Application for Two-Story Booth Structures.
4. At least two stairways, each at least 90 cm wide, need to be installed.

3. There must be at least one fire alarm (smoke alarm) per 150 m2 of ceiling of the 1st floor. If a 60 cm or longer wall is hung down from the ceiling, at least one fire alarm (smoke alarm) must be set in each enclosed area.
