Sets out recommendations and requirements for the design, construction and operation of pools, for use by and management of persons whose conditions require hydrotherapy.

This Standard sets out requirements and recommendations for the design, construction and operation of pools, and requirements for use by and management of persons whose conditions require hydrotherapy. It does not apply to small tanks that incorporate fixed or rotating water jets with a water capacity of less than 7500 L or to small prefabricated therapy/fitness pools.NOTE: The recommendation of this Standard may also provide advice for use when designing general purpose pools which from, time to time, may be made available for hydrotherapy purposes.
