Whenever a service chest is shared between more than one stand in one block of stands, it must remain accessible at all times through a hatch.Platforms for electrical cables only should be at least 50mm, however if a water connection is planned for any neighbouring stand the a platform of 100mm if needed. Exhibitors who are planning to install a platform of less than 100mm should first check whether neighbouring stands would rely on a service check within their stand space for a water connection.

If a cable gets unplugged for any reason, the chest needs to be accessed by the technical teams. Whenever a service chest is half covered by a division wall or is at the limit of the stand, the area around the chest must remain accessible.
