Abstract: We study energy conditions for non-timelike massive thin shells in arbitrary $n(ge3)$ dimensions. It is shown that the induced energy-momentum tensor $t_{muu}$ on a shell $Sigma$ is of the Hawking-Ellis type I if $Sigma$ is spacelike and either of type I, II, or III if $Sigma$ is null. Then, we derive simple equivalent representations of the standard energy conditions for $t_{muu}$. In particular, on a spacelike shell or on a null shell with non-vanishing surface current, $t_{muu}$ inevitably violates the dominant energy condition. Those fully general results are obtained without imposing a spacetime symmetry and can be used in any theory of gravity. Lastly, several applications of the main results are presented in general relativity in four dimensions.
