- domestic spas covered by EN 17125, or their specific equipment;
- spas for public use, or their specific equipment;
- mini-pools covered by EN 16927, or their specific equipment;
- paddling pools covered by EN 71 1 and EN 71 8, or their specific equipment;
- non-permanently installed pools covered by EN 16582 (all parts);
NOTE   This document does not cover non-permanently installed pools, because the absolute majority of this kind of pools are not equipped with any kind of heating, operated and used only in comparable short periods (range of 3-4 months), and the power consumption of pumps used are usually low (range of less than 1 kWh per day).
Nevertheless, to ensure a future objective comparison also with this kind of pools and other permanently installed pools, a calculation method for non-permanently installed pools will be established and considered in the next revision.
- swimming pools for public use covered by EN 15288-1, or their specific equipment.
This document also does not apply to:
- personal hygiene devices, such as showers or footbaths, or their specific equipment;
- devices for water features, such as water play equipment or fountains, or their corresponding specific equipment (dedicated pumps, etc.).

Introduction

The majority of our energy is generated by the use of finite global resources. This process is also

producing waste products and harmful emissions.

Every product has an impact on the environment during all the stages of its life cycle, such as, for example,

the extraction of resources, the acquisition of raw materials, production, distribution, use and end-of-life

processing, including final disposal. These impacts range from light to significant, may be short- or long-

term, and occur on a global, regional or local scale.

The need to improve the environmental performance efficiency of a product that may occur in all the

stages of its life is recognized around the world. The environmental performance efficiency of products

can be increased by taking environmental questions into consideration.

There are already many standards, directives, scientific documents, etc. pertaining to the environmental

impact and the sustainability of products.

The environmental performance efficiency is assessed according to, amongst other things, principles of

honesty, transparency, comparability and completeness, and by taking all the stakeholders into

consideration. The requirements applying to functionality, quality, design and suitability which are

essential for domestic swimming pools, are important indicators to be taken into account, in addition to

considerations related to these environmental performances and their sustainability.

In the light of existing documents (ISO Guide 64, CEN Guide 4, etc.), this is the reason why it seemed

necessary to develop a standard covering criteria applying to the environment and sustainability in order

to:

— address the environmental performances of domestic swimming pools in order to fill the gap in this

field;

— improve the efficiency of the products on the market and encourage the development of energy-

efficient and environmentally-friendly products;

— promote good practice in terms of sustainability (energy and water savings, reduction of waste and

noise, etc.).

1 Scope

This document specifies the design and use requirements, the test methods and the scales of classification

of the environmental performance when using a domestic swimming pool.

This document is applicable to outdoor pools, as defined in EN 16582 (all parts), intended to be

permanently installed, and shall be red jointly with the latter.

This document allows the evaluation of the environmental performance efficiency of the use of domestic

swimming pools.

NOTE This document only covers the operational phase of the basin. All the other stages of the product life

cycle, such as the extraction of resources, the acquisition of raw materials, production, distribution, use and end-of-

life processing, including final disposal, are not covered by this document.
This document does not apply to:

— the specific functions of buildings housing domestic indoor swimming pools, such as air treatment

or the lighting or insulation of the buildings, etc.;
— domestic spas covered by EN 17125, or their specific equipment;
— spas for public use, or their specific equipment;
— mini-pools covered by EN 16927, or their specific equipment;
— paddling pools covered by EN 71-1 and EN 71-8, or their specific equipment;
— non-permanently installed pools covered by EN 16582 (all parts);

NOTE This document does not cover non-permanently installed pools, because the absolute majority of this

kind of pools are not equipped with any kind of heating, operated and used only in comparable short periods (range

of 3-4 months), and the power consumption of pumps used are usually low (range of less than 1 kWh per day).

Nevertheless, to ensure a future objective comparison also with this kind of pools and other permanently

installed pools, a calculation method for non-permanently installed pools will be established and

considered in the next revision.

— swimming pools for public use covered by EN 15288-1, or their specific equipment.

This document also does not apply to:

— personal hygiene devices, such as showers or footbaths, or their specific equipment;

— devices for water features, such as water play equipment or fountains, or their corresponding specific

equipment (dedicated pumps, etc.).

The environmental performance efficiency evaluation (absorbed power, electrical consumption, etc.) of

battery-powered electrical equipment that is recharged from the mains is to be considered in the same

way as a device connected directly to the mains. Only the electrical characteristics of the accumulator(s)

are to be taken into consideration to determine the environmental performance efficiency.

4.1.2.2 Renewable self-powered equipment

Electrical equipment powered by standalone and renewable energy sources (not connected to the mains)

shall also be taken into consideration, because their environmental performance efficiency from an

energy perspective is more virtuous. On the other hand, their electric power should be considered as

zero.

The supply of power to this equipment from a standalone renewable source is indicated by a special

pictogram that shall appear in the various communication materials (see Clause 6).

NOTE Only standalone power sources using renewable energies are taken into consideration. Standalone

power sources using fuels are excluded.
4.2 Measurement of electric power
4.2.1 Absorbed power in active mode

The electric power absorbed by the equipment concerned is measured using a wattmeter on the mains

power supply of the equipment during a phase of maximum absorbed power under stable thermal and

functional conditions.

If the equipment is covered by a European reference standard defining specific conditions of absorbed

power measurements, these specific conditions should apply.

The designer / manufacturer shall determine and declare the maximum absorbed power with reading

the continuous power in a typical complete operating cycle, with all functions activated and, in the

configuration, resulting in maximum absorbed power. Transient phenomena, in particular when starting

up the equipment, are excluded from the maximum absorbed power cycle to be taken into consideration.

In order to avoid wrong readings or interpretations adapted measurement equipment shall be used,

depending on the physical magnitudes and the product technology (eg true RMS for variable speed drive).

The maximum absorbed power in active mode of any additional equipment shall be considered.

Measurements are taken using apparatus with an accuracy classification of at least 1,5.

The announced value is the average of eight of a series of ten measurements lasting at least 10 s, from

which the two extremes are eliminated.
The announced value is rounded to 1 % of the meas
