   1. The structure must be made of steel (aluminum trusses are also acceptable) and designed to be safe, taking into account the weight of the second floor and the earthquake load during a major earthquake.
   2. Please submit the structural calculation documents. The exhibitor is responsible for setting the design conditions. * The submission of structural calculation documents does not guarantee safety by the organizer, facility, or fire department.
   3. When submitting the documents in the exhibitor manual distributed at a later date (July), please be sure to fill in the structural designer section.
   4. Please install a passageway of at least 90cm in two directions or more.

   The point of suspension is, in principle, only the gusset plate. If you wish to install it in a place other than that (such as a large beam), please consult with us as soon as possible. Please be sure to follow the instructions, as we may ask you to change your plans depending on the weight.
4. Weight limit
   The weight limit for each gusset plate for hanging objects is 450kg or less. Please attach a drawing to the submitted plans that clearly shows the weight of each gusset plate, as well as a weight calculation table for each point. Please note that we will not be able to grant permission for installation if the drawing shows the total weight of the hanging structure divided by the number of hanging points.
5. Height limit
   Items that are considered to be decorative (metalwork, woodwork, signs, lighting equipment, speakers, banners, cloth, etc.) should be kept below 6m, as with the height limit. However, hanging structures, trusses, chain motors boxes are not subject to height restrictions, but please install them in a position that does not obstruct the view of surrounding exhibitors. For safety reasons, please install chains for hanging decorative trusses within approximately 1 meter above the decorative trusses. In addition, any related costs incurred due to changes in plans will be borne by each company.
6. Other restrictions/matters to note
   Please design your decorative trusses so that they form a single structure, without being divided into smaller sections.

Hammering, gas cutting, and pulling out of the anchor bolts are not permitted. If the restoration is deemed to be insufficient after the final on-site inspection, or if the restoration is not completed within the specified period and the Association is forced to carry out the work on the exhibitor's behalf, the exhibitor will be responsible for all costs incurred.
3. Floor Restoration Cooperation Fee
   Regardless of the thickness, exhibitors will be charged a flat fee of 1,100 yen (including consumption tax) per anchor bolt for the floor restoration cooperation fee.
