Provides guidance on the prevention of accidental drownings and injuries in private swimming pools and spas and identifies potential hazards in the use and maintenance of private swimming pools. Alternative pool fencing arrangements are set out offering three levels of restriction of access to the pool. Suggested dimensions are also included for skimmer boxes so that the likelihood of entrapment is minimized.

This standard provides guidance on the prevention of accidental drownings and injuries in private swimming pools and spas and identifies potential hazards in the use and maintenance of private swimming pools. It does not encompass design features for private spas which are specified in AS 2610 Part 2.
