Overview

EN 13451-3:2022/prA1 is a CEN draft amendment to EN 13451-3:2022 - the European standard that sets additional specific safety requirements and test methods for inlets and outlets and water/air-based water leisure features installed in pools for public use. This part supplements the general safety requirements of EN 13451-1, and its specific provisions take priority over those in EN 13451-1 where applicable. The amendment (prA1) updates terminology and removes certain test-method references and an informative annex (Annex A).

Key topics and requirements

• Scope: Applies to devices that introduce or extract water, introduce air for leisure, or create water movement as part of water leisure features in public pools.
• Priority of requirements: Specific requirements in EN 13451-3 override general rules in EN 13451-1.
• Terminology update: Modification to Clause 3 - the definition for the term “suction group” has been edited (replacement of the word “inlets” with “outlets”).
• Technical content changes:
  • Modification to Clause 4.2.3 (Floor and wall water outlets): removal of the last list entry referencing hair entrapment in 5.3.
  • Modifications to Clause 4.3 (Water speed at inlets) and Clause 4.7.2 (Introduction of water and/or air from the floor): deletion of references to conducting a water speed test in Annex A.
  • Deletion of Annex A (informative) which previously covered calculation of water speed at the design stage.
• Status: This document is presented as a draft amendment for CEN enquiry and, if approved, will be incorporated into the official EN 13451-3:2022 text.

Applications and users

Who uses EN 13451-3:2022/prA1:

• Pool equipment manufacturers - design and construction of inlets, outlets and water/air leisure features to meet CEN safety requirements.
• Pool designers and specifiers - ensuring installed equipment complies with European safety and testing expectations for public pools.
• Installers and commissioning engineers - applying updated terminology and test-method references during installation and validation.
• Pool operators and maintenance staff - understanding safety-related device requirements for risk assessment and ongoing compliance.
• Notified bodies and conformity assessors - auditing and certifying products and installations against EN 13451-3 and related parts.

Practical uses:

• Product design checks, procurement specifications, conformity assessment, and safety testing for public swimming pools and aquatics leisure attractions.
