· 70 mm and in contrasting colour, located to be visible by all people in the water. Depth indications shall at least be placed: a) at the access to pools; b) in locations corresponding to the maximum and minimum depths; c) in the middle of flat or uniformly sloping floors; d) where the pool floor profile changes abruptly to a water depth > 1,35 m. Additional information is recommended for swimming and non-swimmers areas, diving and non-diving areas. 5.5 Materials All materials and finishes used shall be suitable for the selected use and the respective surroundings and conditions, and able to withstand conditions of high humidity with occasional saturation and/or corrosiveness without encouraging the growth of bacteria. The use of stainless steel with structural function in the swimming hall atmosphere which could be subjected to stress corrosion shall be avoided, unless it can be inspected and regularly cleaned. Where stainless steel is used the grade used should be recommended for this use. Materials and finishes shall be easy to clean, with chemicals when appropriate, to a level of hygiene suitable for the location. Manufacturer's recommendations are to be considered. 5.6 Safety of barefoot areas 5.6.1 Finishes to wet areas Surfaces of all wet areas shall be laid to avoid puddling (e.g. inclination) and accumulated water which may cause slipping and unhygienic conditions. The inclination in the direction of the drains shall be between 2 % and 4 %. With an inclination > 3 % particular attention shall be paid to the slip-resistance. If the surface is self-draining the slope shall be between 0 % and 4 % (e.g. overflow grids). 5.6.2 Slip resistance The slip resistance of the floor surface in barefoot areas should be mainly based upon the CEN/TS 16165 “Determination of slip resistance”, Annex A, which uses ramp measurements and divides wet barefoot areas into three categories. The barefoot test results are quoted as a letter rating A, B, or C, which relates to the ramp angles as shown below: —
s t ¹ ¶ A
´
s z ¹â —
s z ¹ ¶ B
´
t v ¹â — C
·
t v ¹ These rating groups represent the angles of inclination, which state in a specified test, when the limits of safe walking are reached and a slip occurs. These values shall not be taken to imply safe use when fixed onto ramps at these angles. These are merely conditions of testing, and the angles do not refer to safe conditions on appropriate ramps. SIST EN 15288-1:2019

Appropriate cleaning of the surfaces is an important precondition to preserve the characteristics of the slip resistance. 5.7 General areas for bathers 5.7.1 General The subsequent requirements apply to type 1 and type 2 and are recommendations for type 3. 5.7.2 Accessible pathways, floors Floors shall be level without any trip hazards, slip resistant and easy to clean. Wherever possible, abrupt changes in floor level shall be avoided, particularly in barefoot areas. 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 puddling in the barefoot areas, floors shall have a suitable and effective drainage system. SIST EN 15288-1:2019

¶ 8 %; an inclination from 5 % to 6 % is recommended; c) have a slip-resistant finish complying with 5.6 and any relevant standards/regulations; d) be obviously marked at the beginning and end. And they should: a) have a clear minimum width of 1 m; b) have handrails on both sides of the ramp; c) have sufficient space at the bottom and top of the ramp for manoeuvring a wheelchair, with a minimum landing of 1,2 m. 5.7.4 Emergency routes Design of emergency routes shall comply with relevant regulations, but also take into account the presence of barefoot users. 5.7.5 Walls, pillars and protruding structures Projections shall be rounded with r
· 3 mm or protected, and sharp edges are not permitted. Areas of glazing shall be: a) made of safety glass able to withstand foreseeable impacts (e.g. caused by water polo balls); b) clearly marked to ensure they are visible to users; c) designed to be readily cleaned and maintained. Walls, pillars and protruding structures up to 2 m above floor level shall be smooth with a nonabrasive finish. SIST EN 15288-1:2019
