Commonly asked spa & pool fencing safety + inspections questions

1
What is the new legislation?

The Amendment to the Building Regulations 2018 incorporating new Pool and Spa regulations has been released. The amended regulations have come into effect on 1st December 2019 and the introduction is widely affecting many property owners and occupiers.

The proposed implementation period required owners of existing swimming pools and spas to take action by 1st November 2020.

Owners of all swimming pools and spas were required to be registered with your local council  by 1st November 2020. If the deadline was missed we recommend. Immediately registering with the local council to avoid fines.

Then an inspection is required to be conducted and a certification issued by a Registered Building Surveyor or Registered Pool inspector under the following timelines:

For pools and spas constructed 30th June 1994 or earlier: Inspected and certified on or before 1st June 2022
For pools and spas constructed between 1st July 1994 and 1st May 2010: Inspected and certified on or before 1st June 2023.
For pools and spas constructed between 1st May 2010 to 31st October 2020: Inspected and certified on or before 1st June 2024

Why is it necessary?

The only reason that the legislation was brought in was to improve the safety & security around spas and pools. Compliance checks will help to safeguard against major accidents & drownings at your property.

How often do I need to do the inspection?

Every 4 years

How long does the inspection take?

If you have one of these, then yes!

In-ground pools and spas, above-ground pools and spas, including inflatable pools, holding more than 300 mm (30 cm) of water, indoor pools and spas, bathing and wading pools containing more than 300 mm (30 cm) of water.
