Swimming pools - Part 1: Safety requirements for design
This European Standard specifies safety requirements relevant to certain aspects of design and construction of classified pools according to Clause 4. It is intended for those who are concerned with construction, plan-ning and operation of classified swimming pools. It provides guidance about the risks associated by identifying the design characteristics required for a safe environment.
The requirements of this European Standard are applicable to all new classified pools and, as appropriate, to specific refurbishments of classified existing pools.
This European Standard has limited application to classified pools which consist of segregated areas of rivers, lakes or the sea but should be followed where relevant.
Schwimmbäder - Teil 1: Sicherheitstechnische Anforderungen an Planung und Bau
Diese Europäische Norm legt sicherheitstechnische Anforderungen fest, die bei Planung und Bau von
klassifizierten Schwimmbädern nach Abschnitt 4 zu berücksichtigen sind. Sie ist für die Personen gedacht, die
mit Planung und Bau von klassifizierten Schwimmbädern befasst sind. Sie gibt Hinweise zu den Risiken, die
mit den Planungs- und Baumerkmalen verbunden sind, indem sie die Merkmale beschreibt, mit denen eine
sichere Umgebung erreicht werden kann.
Die Anforderungen dieser Europäischen Norm gelten für alle neuen Schwimmbäder und — soweit anzuwenden
— für teilweise oder vollständige Sanierung von bestehenden Schwimmbädern.
Diese Europäische Norm ist nur begrenzt auf klassifizierte Schwimmbäder anwendbar, die aus abgetrennten
Bereichen von Flüssen, Seen oder dem Meer bestehen. Sie sollte jedoch, soweit zutreffend, befolgt werden.
Piscines - Partie 1 : Exigences de sécurité pour la conception
La présente Norme européenne spécifie les exigences de sécurité applicables à certains aspects de la conception et de la construction des bassins classifiés conformément à l’Article 4. Elle est destinée aux personnes qui sont concernées par la construction, la planification et l’exploitation des piscines classifiées. Elle fournit des recommandations concernant les risques inhérents, grâce à l’identification des caractéristiques de conception requises pour un environnement d’exploitation sûr.
Les exigences de la présente Norme européenne s’appliquent à toutes les nouvelles piscines classifiées et, le cas échéant, aux travaux de rénovation spécifiques de piscines classifiées existantes.
La présente norme ne s’applique que de manière restreinte aux bassins classifiés constitués de zones délimitées de cours d’eau, de lacs ou de mer, mais il convient toutefois de l’appliquer lorsqu’elle est pertinente.

Introduction To provide a swimming pool which can be managed as safely as possible, considerations have to start with careful design. All of those involved in designing new pools or upgrading existing ones will need to give the highest priority to ensuring that they provide users and staff with a facility that is safe. Four steps need to be developed in order to achieve this: a) the layout of the pool hall (if any) and the pool basin (including its dimensions, profile and any water fea-tures) should be designed so as to make the safe use and supervision of the pool to achieve without complex or costly management arrangements; b) the layout of the ancillary areas, including the changing, clothes storage, shower and toilet areas, should be similarly designed for safe use; c) the structural elements, materials, finishes and details, including the pool hall enclosure (if any), basin and equipment and the way they are assembled should be those which are the most appropriate to achieving a safe-to-use physical environment; d) criteria relevant for the planning of the safe and functionally correct maintenance. There are specific sources of information from which the technical design and planning standards that are rec-ommended in the design of swimming pools can be obtained. Everyone who is involved in the process of specifying, designing and constructing pools should be familiar with these design and planning standards and should ensure that they are given careful consideration in all pool projects. It is also important to draw the attention of all of those involved in the design process to the implications of their work for the pool operator. What might be thought a small change in the layout of the pool or in the fin-ishes specified could have a significant impact on the ability of the pool to be used safely. If that change is ill-considered and creates a serious design flaw, the result might be an increase in accidents. More likely it will be an increase in the cost of operating the pool (perhaps through the employment of additional staff) in order to compensate for the resulting problems. One way of anticipating the management consequences of design decisions is to include a quali-fied/competent person on the design team. The person should give advice and guidance during the various development stages of the project. This standard includes requirements, recommendations and notes. While compliance with requirements is mandatory, recommendations indicate best practices and notes give additional information and/or explana-tions. SIST EN 15288-1:2008

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
