Overview
EN 13451-3:2011/FprA2 (CEN) is a European standard amendment that specifies additional safety requirements and test methods for swimming pool inlets, outlets and water/air-based leisure features. It supplements and-where specific-takes priority over the general safety requirements in EN 13451-1:2010. The scope covers devices used for the introduction/extraction of water or air and water leisure features that create water movement (e.g., fountains, jets, suction outlets).
Key Topics
- Suction outlet systems and grille design
- Requirements for multiple-suction systems and single-grille solutions.
- Single-grille criteria include limits so one user cannot cover >50% of the opening; domed grilles with peripheral suction (dome height ≥ 10% of main dimension); or single grilles with a circumscribed suction area ≥ 1 m².
- Reference to obstruction tests and Annex A examples.
- Fountains and vertical clearances
- Fountains installed in or on pool surrounds must prevent users passing beneath unless there is at least 2 100 mm clearance above walking surfaces; reduced clearance for special areas (e.g., children’s pools) requires risk assessment.
- Test methods and mechanical testing
- Point-load test machine accuracy described (readable to 22 N increments) and tup speed specified at 5.0–6.5 mm/min for certain tests.
- Progressive testing procedures introduced for some dynamic tests.
- Test device specification
- A foam-based test device is defined (closed-cell elastomeric foam, thickness 45 mm, overlapping-disk shape) with specified mechanical strength, density and mass (2.8 ± 0.1 kg) and an accompanying steel plate to ensure correct buoyancy/load behavior.
- Amendments and references
- This FprA2 draft modifies clauses (e.g., 4.6.1, 4.9.7, 5.2.x, Annex A) and updates bibliographic references (replacement of EN ISO 3386-1 by NFR 99-211).
Applications
- Use this standard for the design, manufacture, installation and testing of:
- Pool suction outlets, return inlets, air blowers and water-jet features
- Decorative and play fountains, water jets and water leisure attractions
- Primary users:
- Pool equipment manufacturers and designers
- Installation contractors and lifeguard/safety assessors
- Testing laboratories, conformity assessors and national regulators
- Facility managers and specifiers seeking compliance with CEN requirements
Related Standards
- EN 13451-1:2010 - General safety requirements for swimming pool equipment (this part takes priority where specific)
- NFR 99-211 - Flexible cellular materials (referenced for foam test-device characteristics)
- Produced by CEN/TC 136 (Sports, playground and recreational equipment)
