SIST EN 16582-2:2015 - Domestic swimming pools - Part 2: Specific requirement including safety and test methods for inground pools

Overview

EN 16582-2:2015 (CEN) is the European standard that defines specific safety, quality and test requirements for domestic partially or fully inground swimming pools. It is intended to be read together with EN 16582‑1:2015 (General requirements) and takes precedence where specific requirements differ. The standard applies to private inground pools with a minimum water depth greater than 400 mm and covers pool structures and means of access. It does not apply to public pools covered by EN 15288‑1, paddling pools (EN 71‑8) or spas.

Key topics and technical requirements

  • Scope and applicability
    • Targets domestic inground pools (partially or fully buried) including access features.
    • Minimum water depth > 400 mm.
  • Mechanical resistance and structural performance
    • Design must consider permanent and variable loads: dead weight, ground pressure, hydrostatic water pressure and additional deck loads.
    • Ground pressure model: Pground(z) = K · γ · z (document specifies γ = 18 kN/m³ and K = 0.30).
    • Hydrostatic pressure model: Pwater(z) = γ · z (water unit weight γ = 10 kN/m³).
    • Additional deck overload: qv = 2.5 kN/m² with derived lateral pressure qh (~0.83 kN/m² using K' = 0.333).
  • Limit states and safety factors
    • Defines Serviceability Limit States (SLS) and Ultimate Limit States (ULS) combinations for design and testing.
    • Emphasises SLS checks with a deformation limit of L/200 between supports.
  • Watertightness and leakproofing
    • Distinguishes watertightness provided by the structure itself, support-dependent systems and support-independent systems.
  • Material- and construction-specific requirements
    • Prefabricated structures: must be installed per manufacturer instructions.
    • Polyester shells: three-step conformity procedure - traceability/quality system, mechanical testing (EN ISO 14125 / EN ISO 527‑4) on factory samples, and full structural verification (testing or finite element modelling) for new shapes/processes.
    • Reinforced concrete and masonry structures: to be designed according to applicable codes (Eurocodes where relevant).
  • Installation tolerances and means of access
    • Tolerances for dimensions, flatness, levels and submerged steps are specified to ensure serviceability and safety.

Applications and users
