The users of this standard could be either in a Business to consumer (B to C) relationship, such as constructors, installers, retailers, etc. or in a Business to business (B to B) relationship, such as manufacturers, suppliers, distributors, etc. Safe products are the basis of the consumers' safety and therefore, this European Standard should take into account the following topics: — product safety and performance requirements; — safe construction and installation, — safe use, which could include information and red flags for consumers (e.g. “Don’t leave your child unattended in the pool”). Special attention should also be paid to environmental aspects, according to CEN Guide 4 (e.g. minimizing water being wasted, etc.). SIST EN 16582-1:2015

Entrapment is only considered where the user is not able to free himself/herself. SIST EN 16582-1:2015

Any combination of different materials in direct contact with each other shall be compatible and not negatively affect each other’s properties or structural integrity. The requirements of this section do not apply to non-structural elements of the swimming pool, including, but not limited to, elements with solely decorative function. When the swimming pool water affects the resistance of the structural material, the requirements for water quality shall be stated and accompany the affected materials. SIST EN 16582-1:2015

Figure 3 — Template for small elements All edges, protruding parts and corners accessible without use of tools or minimum amount of force of 60 N (±2N) shall be designed not to cause any injury. When necessary they shall be treated appropriately to remove this risk (see Figure 4). For example, edges can be bevelled or rounded, and surfaces shall be smooth and free from burrs. Examples are provided in Figure 4. If they are due to a wall thickness lower than 4 mm, one of the following requirements applies: — they shall be folded, rolled or wound in spirals according to Figure 4 d); — they shall be protected by a plastic coating or by any other suitable means as shown in Figure 4 e). SIST EN 16582-1:2015

Figure 4 — Examples of configuration of edges 4.5.2 Permissible openings 4.5.2.1 Principle To prevent entrapment hazards inside the pool structure, accessible openings with the lowest point located beyond 500 mm below the water surface shall be restricted to the range of opening or gap size dimensions specified in 4.5.2.2 to 4.5.2.4, unless specifically permitted in other clauses/annexes of this standard and/or parts of this standard series. Test methods for entrapment are given in Annex C. If the depth of penetration (see 'a' in Figure 5) is less than 10 mm, no requirements apply. SIST EN 16582-1:2015

maximum depth penetration t ≤ 10 mm 4.5.2.2 Finger and toe entrapment there there is a risk of finger or toe entrapment, the permissible opening shall be ≤ 8 mm or ≥ 25 mm. 4.5.2.3 Head and neck entrapment Where there is a risk of head or neck entrapment, the permissible opening shall be ≤ 110 mm or ≥ 230 mm. there an opening is ≥ 230 mm it should not permit passage to further entrapment hazards. Where there is a combination of risks, the lesser of the permitted opening sizes shall be used. 4.5.2.4 Other body entrapment Other permissible openings include the range between 25 mm and 110 mm. When such openings are used for construction or installation reasons, the installer shall alert their customer of a potential risk of entrapment. SIST EN 16582-1:2015

the above requirement is not satisfied and/or — the means of access according to the requirements stated in 5.4.4 is not safe; or — no means of access is provided with the swimming pool. Then the manufacturer of the swimming pool shall recommend that the access to the finished swimming pool should be secured by a protection device to prevent children drowning. To prevent children drowning, inground pool manufacturers shall also recommend to secure the access to the finished pool with a protection device. The following warning "In order to prevent children from drowning, it is recommended to secure the access to the pool with a protection device" shall be present for the consumer in the information before purchase and in the safety instructions. EXAMPLE Protection devices to secure the access to the swimming pool can be fences, safety covers, enclosures, etc. NOTE Securing the boundary of the property may be an acceptable way of preventing unauthorized access to the pool. SIST EN 16582-1:2015

4.4, if applicable. Swimming pools intended solely for aboveground installation with a wall height exceeding 850 mm shall be installed with a means of access. When such mean of access is a pool ladder, then it shall meet the ladder design requirements in 5.4 and the safe access requirements in 4.6. Pools intended for multiple types of installation shall include a specification or recommendation for appropriate means of access. 5.2 Slip resistance The risk of a slipping accident in a domestic pool is low, due to the following reasons: — Easily accessible information for users (Annex B); — Close and permanent adult supervision required (Annex B); — Reduced number of simultaneous users. The slip resistance requirements only refer to walking surfaces of slopes, steps and treads located on the inner side of the basin, under the water line or not, and allowing the user to go down into the water. These requirements do not apply to: — slopes or steps that are not intended to enter the water ; — water slides; — starting platforms; — diving boards, or — any similar equipment. Requirements apply to slopes as a means of access with an inclination of more than 15°. If the slope declination is less than 15°, the requirements only apply from the water level to 600 mm depth. The walking surfaces of the relevant means of access have to comply with slip resistance requirements that shall be tested according to the Annex A of CEN/TS 16165.
