Plan approval and stand construction permit

Special or larger stand structures are subject to approval. Find out about the criteria and the permit.

The criteria for booth structures requiring a permit are:

• booths with commercial kitchens
• stand areas from a size of 100m²
• multi-storey structures
• special constructions
• exhibits higher than 6.5 m
• outdoor structures: mobile stands, tent structures and containers.

Please note that Deutsche Messe’s modular stands do not require additional approval.

Would you like to upload your stand drawing?

Here's what you need to keep in mind:

• You have received a confirmation of participation from Deutsche Messe. 
• You must log in to the shop to upload your stand drawing.

If the service "Approval of stand design" is activated, a button appears here that forwards you directly to the shop. There you can upload your stand construction drawing. The Technical Regulations can be found directly in the service.

Extensive stand construction information, including the technical guidelines and their supplements, are available in the download center. You can access the documents at any time without logging in.
