Regulations and Requirements
E-guide Regulations
- Multi-way plug in type and bayonet adapters shall not be used
- The use of trailing/Block type 4-way fused sockets shall be restricted to the following: one 4-way lead per fixed socket outlet, subject to a maximum loading of 500 watts total and its plug shall be fused accordingly
- A maximum flexible cord length of 2 metres from plug to trailing block unit
- It is the owner or user’s responsibility to ensure that portable appliances are safe to be plugged into the electrical system
- The use of batteries to provide mains stand power is strictly prohibited, as batteries are not currently considered to be a safe source of power. This is primarily due to the concern of being unable to identify power sources clearly within a stand and therefore to isolate power in case of a fire, as well as concerns over defects due to lack of maintenance and poor transportation and storage.
Examples of Power Requirements
2amp (500w) Socket - Laptops, Computers, TV’s, DVD’s, Lighting up to 500w
5amp (1000w) Socket - Small Domestic Microwaves, Lighting up to 1000w
10amp (2000w) Socket - Small Nespresso Machines, Small Vacuum Cleaner, Hair Dryers. Lighting not permitted
13amp (3000w) Socket - Vacuum Cleaner, Coffee machines, Jug Kettles, Urns. Lighting not permitted
Note: Lighting circuits may not exceed 1000w
This is for guidance only. We recommend that you check the rating plate of your appliances so that you are 100% correct when you place your order.

Enquiry desk
During the build-up period, an enquiry desk will be located outside the Organisers Office (N4) to assist exhibitors with any electrical queries or problems. The desk will be manned from 0800-1800 hours daily
Supply Timetable
Electricity will be energised to stands as quickly as possible during the build-up period, subject to satisfactory inspection and testing of installations.
From the time your sockets are energized they will remain on until 6pm each evening. On the final day of the show the power will be turned off 15 minutes after the show closes.
Any exhibitor needing electricity for the running down of machinery or refrigeration equipment etc. when the exhibition closes at 1700hrs on Wednesday 7th April, must inform the Organiser’s Office of their requirements no later than 1700hrs the day before (Tuesday 6th April), for this to be arranged in time.
Sustainability & Waste
We ask our exhibitors to be mindful of their impact whilst exhibiting with us. Waste is unfortunately inevitable; however, we can all certainly do a lot more to reduce waste.
Exhibitors are responsible for the waste created in the building, decorating, and dismantling of their stands.
Any waste created must be planned for. Waste created during build up is just as important to plan as for breakdown. Should the waste not be able to be taken away daily, then pre book the waste bins/skips required for the waste.
One of these two options will be far cheaper then booking waste bins/skips onsite or worst will be us as organisers having to charge the exhibitor the waste bin charge (price dependent on the amount of waste) PLUS a fixed fine of £300.

Access
ExCeL is adopting the Voyage Control pre-show vehicle booking system for deliveries to the show floor to ensure clarity in terms of access and to reduce waiting times.
For a seamless process, it is essential that all vehicles needing access the venue’s loading bays are pre-booked on the ExCeL London Vehicle Booking System.
To book your vehicle please go to excellondon.voyagecontrol.com. Voyage Control will go live 21 days prior to the event.
Any exhibitor or contractor vehicles that are not booked system will be denied access to the loading bay by the on-site traffic team.
