·Load-bearing capacity
    Ceiling Strength:The load-bearing capacity of the upper storey when used for general visitor traffic, meetings, presentations and/or as storage space must be a minimum of 5 kN/sqm, in accordance with the regulations concerned, insofar as a capacity reduced to 2 kN/sqm is permissible under the following conditions: The upper storey is used as private office, salesroom (less than 50 sqm in area), lounge or hallway. People only stay here for limited periods. The stairways must be closed to the general public with corresponding visible signs. The designated use of such rooms must be clearly indicated in the planning documents submitted.
    Strength of Stairways: The construction must be capable of resisting 1/20 of the load-bearing capacity in horizontal direction (point of attack: surface of upper floor). All stairways are to be constructed in accordance with Shanghai Building Regulations and with a load-bearing capacity of 5 kN/sqm.
    Strength of Fence / Handrail:Fence and handrail must be designed to withstand horizontal loads of 1 kN/m at the level of the handrail. Proof must be provided that the pressure applied by the supports does not exceed the maximum permissible pressure the hall floor can withstand.

·Fire prevention:
    The maximum length of any escape route from the upper floor to the aisle is 25 meters.
    On stands with upper storey of 100 sqm in area or less, one stairway is required, which must be outside the covered area of the stand.
    On stand with an upper storey more then 100 sqm in area, at least two stairways are required, at     opposite ends of the stand, one of which must be outside the covered area of the stand.
    The space beneath and alongside open-tread stairways must not be used for storage, nor for the installation of shelves.
    If the area covered by the upper storey exceeds 30 sqm, a sprinkler system must be installed in accordance with the regulations, with one sprinkler unit to be installed every 12sqm or part thereof of covered space. All rooms must be incorporated within the sprinkler system.
    No area of the upper storey may have a closed ceiling or canopy. Metal grids 1 cm x 1 cm in modular dimension are permitted. Including lighting elements, the open area must comprise at least 80 %. All cabins and enclosed areas must permit clear sight of the outer exhibition hall. Up until final approval of the completed stand, additional measures of safety or fire prevention may also be imposed if necessary.
