 pools Type 2;  pools of private use according to 3.4. 5 Safety related design factors and requirements 5.1 General
The requirements of clause 5 refer to pools which are intended for public use within a defined classification. Optional application of requirements to specific types is explained in the related paragraphs. The requirements apply as far as the selected items are present in the swimming pool. As safe operation is influenced by safe design, the design shall take into account the facility’s use, the activity, planned occupancy and its control. Where minimum requirements are given for different types, the designer shall consider the kind of activity foreseen and, should it be more similar to those of another type, refer to the most severe requirements. The occupancy ratio shall be defined at the design stage as the sum of the number of users: a) generated by the water related areas/activities; b) plus the number of users generated by other areas/activities. NOTE 1 A typical occupancy ratio according to a) for swimming pools Type 1, mainly used for swimming and teaching swimming, would be a minimum of 3 m² of water area per bather. As swimming and water-related activities carry an inherent risk (e.g. users have bare feet and wear only bathing costumes), the need for specific design requirements shall always be considered. Facilities designed to meet specific needs or programmes (e.g. competitions, special activities, events) require special consideration. Also at the design stage, the needs of the following shall be considered: c) special users (see Bibliography, e.g. with disabilities); d) special installations (e.g. technologies to detect users in a potential risk of drowning video supervision of pool surrounds and/or other areas). Design construction and operation risk assessment shall be conducted for any refurbishment or alteration work. The assessments have to be developed, updated and implemented as and when required to suit the work stages and any relevant occurrences. NOTE 2 A review at fixed intervals has proved to be effective. Requirements and advice of the following chapters should be tested for relevance during the analysis. 5.2 Layout The layout of a facility shall be considered in terms of interaction between its components and between components and users. Particular attention shall be paid to the intended circulation routes and to the likely behaviour of users. SIST EN 15288-1:2008+A1:2010

Wherever possible, abrupt changes in floor level shall be avoided, particularly in barefoot areas. Single steps on the circulation routes shall: a) have a height ≤ 250 mm, with the riser not open; a height ≤ 180 mm is recommended; b) have the edge marked by contrasting colour; c) have a slip-resistant finish complying with relevant standards/regulations. Staircases shall comply with relevant standards. Where ramps on the circulation routes are used, they shall: d) have an inclination ≤ 8 %; an inclination 5 % to 6 % is recommended; e) have a slip-resistant finish complying with relevant standards/regulations; f) be obviously marked at the beginning and end. Circulation routes shall be designed to ensure a free flow of users, avoiding congestion points, constrictions and obstructions. Service accesses should be provided separately to general circulation routes (e.g. direct access from the outside). To prevent ponding in the barefoot areas, floors shall have a suitable and effective draining system. The inclination in direction of the drains shall be between 2 % and 5 %. With an inclination > 3 % particular attention shall be paid to the slip-resistance and to the opportunity to foresee handrails especially for long ramps. 5.5.3 Emergency routes Design of emergency routes shall comply with relevant regulations, but taking into account also the presence of barefoot users.
