Commonly asked spa & pool safety inspection questions

What is the new spa & pool safety 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 requires owners of existing swimming pools and spas to take action by 1st November 2020.

Owners of all swimming pools and spas are required to be registered with your local council prior to or by 1st November 2020.

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 November 2021
For pools and spas constructed between 1st July 1994 and 1st May 2010: Inspected and certified on or before 1st November 2022.
For pools and spas constructed between 1st May 2010 to 31st October 2020: Inspected and certified on or before 1st November 2023.
