4 Safety requirements
4.1 Structural integrity
4.1.1 General
Structural integrity, including stability, of the equipment shall be assessed for the reasonably
foreseeable types of load they may be subjected to by one of the following:
a) calculation, carried out in accordance with Annex A and Annex B;
b) physical testing, in accordance with Annex C; or
c) a combination of a) and b).
When calculations are carried out in accordance with Annex B, limit states as defined in B.1 shall not be
exceeded at combinations of loads as given in B.2.
Each structure shall resist both the permanent and variable loads acting on equipment and parts of
equipment.
No allowance for accidental loads, i.e. loads produced by fire, collision by vehicles or earthquake has to
be made for swimming pool equipment.
The loads associated with fatigue are much smaller than the loads in combination with the appropriate
load factors when calculated according to B.2. Therefore, swimming pool equipment need not be
verified for fatigue.
Structural parts shall resist the worst case loading condition.
Equipment or piece of equipment made by components shall be safe in any working position.
4.1.2 Materials
4.1.2.1 General
Any material may be used provided it is fit for purpose, also considering the particular characteristics of
the swimming pool environment (e.g. oxidizing atmosphere, humidity, ageing).
Where stainless steel is used, see 4.1.2.2, and where plastic material is used, see 4.1.2.3.
When required, risk assessment shall be developed according to EN ISO 12100.
4.1.2.2 Use of stainless steel
For the selection and use of stainless steel with safety critical load bearing function in the swimming
pool atmosphere, EN 1993-1-4 applies.
The coating of stainless steel surfaces is not sufficient protection against corrosion and never justifies
the selection of a less corrosion-proof material.
4.1.2.3 Use of plastic
Wherever the risk assessment identifies possible hazards for users in case of progressive degradation of
plastic components, appropriate actions shall be taken (e.g. stating a maximum life span, necessity of
periodical inspection).
Wherever the design risk assessment identifies the possibility of fracture or failure due to degradation,
the component shall be subject to continuing risk assessment.
NOTE For a possible ageing test see NF T54-405.
4.2 Minimum space
The manufacturer/supplier shall indicate the minimum space needed for the installation, operation and
use of their equipment.
4.3 Handrails, barriers, safety barriers
4.3.1 Handrails
Handrails for general use shall be not less than 800 mm and not more than 1 100 mm above the foot
position. Handrails designed for children only shall be not less than 600 mm and not more than 850 mm
above the foot position.
4.3.2 Barriers
The design of the barriers shall not encourage the users to stand or sit on them and shall prevent
climbing.
Barriers may be in form of gratings, full faced panels or walls.
The design should consider the visual needs connected with the use of the facility.
4.3.3 Safety barriers
The design of safety barriers shall not encourage the users to stand or sit on them and shall prevent
climbing.
Safety barriers may be in form of gratings, full faced panels or walls.
The design should consider the visual needs connected with the use of the facility.
Safety barriers shall be used to prevent users from falling from heights > 600 mm, except in situations
where a risk assessment shows that a safety barrier is not necessary.
Gaps shall have a width ≤ 110 mm and shall be designed to avoid entrapment (see 4.7.2). Where two or
more safety barriers are used in combination (e.g. ladder, stair and platform) the safety barrier shall be
designed to give continuous protection.
Safety barriers shall have a height ≥ 1 000 mm, measured from the highest point on which a person can
stand within 1 000 mm from the barriers themselves, see Figure 3.

4.3.4 Grip
The cross section of any component designed to be gripped shall have in any direction, when measured
across its centre, a dimension not less than 16 mm and not more than 50 mm.
4.3.5 Grasp
The thickness of any component designed to be grasped shall have a width not exceeding 60 mm.
4.3.6 Finger hold
The minimum space for clutching shall be at least 15 mm high and at least 20 mm wide. For an example,
see Figure 4.

4.4 Surfaces
4.4.1 Surface finishing
The surface finishing in the minimum zone for use shall not present any risk of injury. Special attention
shall be paid to:
— the finishing of welds;
— the risk of splintering.
4.4.2 Surface materials
The materials in contact with the water shall have no detrimental effect on its quality and shall be fit for
purpose.
4.5 Protrusions
NOTE Protrusions are a hazard of impact or entrapment especially where water movement can cause
involuntary movement of users.
Protrusions with a height h ≤ 3 mm, not shielded by adjacent areas as shown in Figure 5 a), shall be
rounded with a radius R > h/2 or chamfered in accordance with Figure 5 b).
Protrusions with a height 3 mm < h ≤ 15 mm, not shielded by adjacent areas, as shown in Figure 5 a),
shall be rounded with a radius R ≥ 3 mm or chamfered in accordance with Figure 5 c).
Protrusions with a height h > 15 mm, not shielded by adjacent areas as shown in Figure 5 a) or
additional measures (e.g. handles for counter-flow plants), for the first 15 mm of projection shall be
radiused as stated in the previous paragraph, and for the remaining projection shall have an inclination
of < 45°, tangentially connected. See Figure 5 d).

4.6 Edges and corners
Edges and corners within the minimum zone shall be radiused depending on the result of design risk
assessment.
NOTE A minimum radius of 3 mm proved to be suitable in all conditions.
4.7 Entrapment, crushing and shearing points
4.7.1 General
Entrapment, crushing and shearing hazards shall be identified and considered in the risk assessment.
Special attention shall be drawn not only to body parts (e.g. fingers, toes, hair etc.) but also to
accessories (e.g. jewellery) and clothing.
Equipment shall be constructed so that any openings do not create an entrapment hazard or, in the case
of moving equipment, a crushing or shearing hazard.
4.7.2 Permissible openings
4.7.2.1 Principle
Any user accessible openings shall be restricted to the following range of opening or gap size
dimensions; 0 mm to 8 mm, 25 mm to 110 mm and 230 mm or more, unless specifically permitted in
other clauses/annexes of this document and/or parts of this standard series.
The permissible opening or gap size dimensions apply where the depth of the opening exceeds the
width.
User accessible openings shall be tested in accordance with Annex D.
4.7.2.2 Finger and toe entrapment
Where there is a risk of finger or toe entrapment, the permissible opening shall be ≤ 8 mm and the test
in D.2 and D.3 shall be applied. If probe C does not pass through the opening compliance is achieved. If
probe C passes through the opening, probe D shall also pass.
4.7.2.3 Foot and hand entrapment
Where there is a risk of foot or hand entrapment the permissible opening shall be ≥ 25 mm
and ≤ 110 mm and the test in D.1 and D.3 shall be applied.
If probe D passes through the opening, probe A shall not pass.
4.7.2.4 Head or neck entrapment
Where there is a risk of head or neck entrapment the permissible opening shall be ≤ 110 mm
or ≥ 230 mm and the test in D.1 shall be applied.
If probe A passes through the opening with a clearance ≤ 1 mm compliance is achieved. If probe A
passes through the opening with a clearance ≥ 1 mm, probe B shall also pass.
Where an opening is ≥ 230 mm it should not permit passage to further entrapment hazards or danger.
Where there is a combination of risks, the lesser of the permitted opening sizes shall be used.
4.7.3 Protections and grids
Where openings are protected or dimensionally restricted (e.g. by cover plates or grids) such devices
shall not be removable without the use of tools or tamper proof techniques.
4.7.4 Moving parts
Equipment shall be constructed so that there are no crushing or shearing hazards between moving
parts and/or fixed parts.
Where opening sizes change during use due to movement, the permissible opening sizes stated in 4.7.2
shall apply.
4.7.5 Slits
Slits creating an entrapment hazard (e.g. nails, hair) shall be:
— avoided by design;
— eliminated by technical means (e.g. elastic gaskets) when generated by the installation of the
equipment.
4.7.6 Entrapment of hair
Hair entrapment shall be avoided.
Particular attention shall be paid to the elimination of slits, especially around suction outlets, where the
effect of suction could increase the risk, wherever a complete elimination is technically not possible, the
remaining entrapment points shall be protected.
NOTE 1 Slits proved to be especially a hair entrapment hazard.
NOTE 2 The test method for the hair entrapment test is specified in EN 13451-3.
4.8 Slip resistance
Surfaces of the equipment, where the user can stand or walk on with bare feet and which shall be tested
in accordance with Annex E, shall comply with Table 1.

CEN/TS 16165:2016 are different (11,5°, 18,5° and 23,9°).
4.9 Fittings
Fittings, either fixed or removable, shall be:
a) considered as integral part of the equipment;
b) subjected to the same safety requirements as the equipment itself;
c) tested with the equipment in its working position.
Fittings for removable equipment/items not in use (e.g. for starting blocks) shall be protected by
suitable tamper proof devices (e.g. the use of tools) when the equipment/item is removed.
Where new equipment utilizes existing installed fittings the person in charge of the installation of the
new equipment (supplier/manufacturer/installer/operator etc.) shall assess their suitability.
4.10 Removable protection devices
Where removable protection devices are used to prevent risks (e.g. cover plates for fixings not in use,
grids for suction outlets) they shall not be removable without the use of tamper proof techniques (e.g.
the use of tools).
4.11 Alteration of existing equipment
If existing equipment becomes altered or partially reused, the person who alters the equipment
(manufacturer, supplier, installer, operator, etc.) is responsible for the compliance of the complete
modified equipment to this document.
5 Test methods
