According to the regulations, the electrical installations for the Exhibition will only be connected to the power supply after being checked and approved by the Cardo Roma.
TEM is the only companies allowed to connect any kind of device directly to the main power sources.
Only TEM is authorized to provide the electrical switchboard for the power points. Thus, every exhibitor should order an electrical switchboard from TEM and to pay for the electrical consumption according to his power needs.

Please note:
- Electrical switchboard and/or various power outputs will be ALWAYS delivered on the booth floor. Exhibitor/Stand Builder must check how to place it inside the booth to be hidden and accessible.
- Electricity supply from the neighboring stand is not allowed!
- It is the exhibitor/stand builder/electrician responsibility to advise how to connect your box provided by TEM.
- It is compulsory to use plastic protectors to hide electrical cables (at the exhibitors’ expense).

The Cardo Roma provides electric service in the Exhibition area during the official exhibition times only.
At the end of the day, we recommend switching off your main electrical sources in order to save energy and not to occur any accidents overnight.
At the end of the day Booth manager must check before leaving the venue that the booth spotlights are switched off for security and ecologic reasons. The Cardo Roma is not liable for any damages caused from this action.
In case that the stand builder brings their own electrical switchboard, (it has to be connected to the Cardo Roma switchboard) it is mandatory to indicate which power line goes to the booth lights, in order that the booth manager knows which switch/button has to be turned off at the end of the day.

Please note the following:
The Italians use the following Power plug & outlet Type: https://www.worldstandards.eu/electricity/plugs-and-sockets/f/
They also still use their older Italian Type L plugs:https://www.worldstandards.eu/electricity/plugs-and-sockets/l/
The Italians therefore often use a socket system that combines both types, so that both plug types F and L can be plugged in. The plug and socket system for CEE 5p is the same. (CEE 16A 5p, CEE 32A 5p etc.)
In case the space booths order CEE supplies, they will either bring their own plug boxes / distribution boards with CEE plug or can order one via the shop.
