Piscines privées à usage familial - Efficience des performances environnementales - Évaluation de la performance, méthodologie et classification de l’utilisation des piscines extérieures et de leurs équipements
Le présent document décrit les exigences en matière de conception et d’utilisation, les méthodes d’essai ainsi que les échelles de classification de la performance environnementale lors de l’utilisation d’une piscine privée à usage familial.
Le présent document s’applique aux piscines extérieures, telles que définies dans l’EN 16582 (toutes les parties), destinées à être installées de façon permanente, et doit être lu conjointement avec cette dernière.
Le présent document permet d’évaluer l’efficience des performances environnementales de l’utilisation des piscines privées à usage familial.
NOTE Le présent document ne couvre que la phase opérationnelle du bassin. Toutes les autres étapes du cycle de vie du produit, telles que l’extraction des ressources, l’acquisition des matières premières, la production, la distribution, l’utilisation et le traitement en fin de vie, y compris l’élimination finale, ne sont pas couvertes par le présent document.
Le présent document ne s’applique pas aux :
- fonctions spécifiques des bâtiments abritant des piscines couvertes privées à usage familial, telles que le traitement de l’air, l’éclairage ou l’isolation des bâtiments, etc. ;
- spas à usage familial couverts par l’EN 17125 ou leurs équipements spécifiques ;
- spas à usage collectif ou leurs équipements spécifiques ;
- piscinettes couvertes par l’EN 16927 ou leurs équipements spécifiques ;
- pataugeoires couvertes par l’EN 71 1 et l’EN 71 8, ou leurs équipements spécifiques ;
- piscines installées de manière non permanente, couvertes par l’EN 16582 (toutes les parties) ;
NOTE Le présent document ne couvre pas les piscines installées de façon non permanente, car la grande majorité de ce type de piscines n’est pas équipée de chauffage et est exploitée et utilisée uniquement pendant de courtes périodes comparables (plage de 3 mois à 4 mois), et la consommation électrique des pompes utilisées est généralement faible (de l’ordre de moins de 1 kWh par jour).
Néanmoins, pour assurer une comparaison future objective avec ce type de piscines et d’autres piscines installées de façon permanente, une méthode de calcul pour les piscines installées de façon non permanente sera définie et prise en compte dans la prochaine révision.
- piscines à usage collectif couvertes par l’EN 15288-1, ou leurs équipements spécifiques.
Le présent document ne s’applique pas non plus aux :
- dispositifs d’hygiène personnelle, tels que les douches ou les bains de pieds, ou leurs équipements spécifiques ;

Plavalni bazeni za domačo uporabo - Učinkovitost ravnanja z okoljem - Vrednotenje učinkov, metodologija in klasifikacija uporabe zunanjih bazenov in njihove opreme
Ta dokument določa zahteve glede konstrukcije in uporabe, preskusne metode ter lestvice za klasifikacijo ravnanja z okoljem pri uporabi plavalnega bazena za domačo uporabo.
Uporablja se za zunanje vgradne bazene, kot so opredeljeni v standardu EN 16582 (vsi deli), in ga je treba brati skupaj z omenjenim standardom.
Ta dokument omogoča vrednotenje učinkovitosti ravnanja z okoljem pri uporabi plavalnih bazenov za domačo uporabo.
OPOMBA: Ta dokument zajema zgolj operativno fazo bazena. Ostale faze življenjskega cikla izdelka, kot so črpanje virov, pridobivanje surovin, proizvodnja, distribucija, uporaba in obdelava v fazi izrabe, vključno s končnim odstranjevanjem, niso zajete v tem dokumentu.
Ta dokument se ne uporablja za:
– posebne funkcije stavb, v katerih so nameščeni notranji plavalni bazeni za domačo uporabo, kot so prezračevanje, osvetlitev ali izolacija stavb itd.;
– hišne toplice, obravnavane v standardu EN 17125, ali z njimi povezano posebno opremo;
– javne toplice ali z njimi povezano posebno opremo;
– majhne bazene, obravnavane v standardu EN 16927, ali z njimi povezano posebno opremo;
– bazene za otroke, obravnavane v standardih EN 71-1 in EN 71-8, ali z njimi povezano posebno opremo;
– nevgradne bazene, obravnavane v standardu EN 16582 (vsi deli);
OPOMBA: Ta dokument ne zajema nevgradnih bazenov, saj velika večina tovrstnih bazenov ni opremljena z ogrevanjem, v primerjavi z vgradnimi bazeni pa obratujejo in se uporabljajo zgolj v kratkih obdobjih (3–4 mesece), poleg tega pa črpalke, ki se v njih uporabljajo, običajno porabijo malo energije (manj kot 1 kWh na dan).
Naslednja različica bo kljub temu vsebovala in obravnavala metodo za izračun okoljske učinkovitosti nevgradnih bazenov, da se v prihodnosti omogoči tudi objektivna primerjava s takšnimi bazeni in drugimi vgradnimi bazeni.
– javne plavalne bazene, obravnavane v standardu EN 15288-1, ali z njimi povezano posebno opremo.
Ta dokument se ravno tako ne uporablja za:
– pripomočke za osebno higieno, kot so prhe in kopeli za stopala, ali z njimi povezano posebno opremo;
– pripomočke za vodne elemente, na primer opremo za igro v vodi ali vodnjake, ali z njimi povezano posebno opremo (namenske črpalke itd.).

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 read jointly with the latter.
This document allows the evaluation of the environmental performance efficiency of the use of domestic
swimming pools.
NOTE 1 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:
— domestic indoor swimming pools and their specific functions of buildings housing such as air
treatment or the lighting or insulation of the buildings, etc.;
— domestic spas covered by EN 17125, or their specific equipment;
— swimming pools for public use covered by EN 15288-1, 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 2 This document does not cover non-permanently installed pools, due to the fact that absolute majority of
these types of pools are not equipped with heating, and are operated and used only for relatively short time periods
(range of 3-4 months). Moreover, 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 these types of pools and other
permanently installed pools, a calculation method for non-permanently installed pools will be
established and considered in the next revision of this document.
This document also does not apply to the following equipment:
— 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.).

4 Design, evaluation and operational requirements for swimming pool
equipment / functions
4.1 General
4.1.1 Objectives
This document guides manufacturers in the design and evaluation of equipment for domestic swimming
pools, in order to improve their environmental performance efficiency. It also enables distributors /
installers to promote this same equipment, which is more environmentally virtuous, through a
comprehensive evaluation of the basin that allows buyers to compare several solutions, in terms of each
equipment item as well as the complete basin.
Manufacturers / installers that do not provide all the environmental performance characteristics
required by this document for the type of product concerned, cannot claim to comply with this document.
4.1.2 Electrical consumption of equipment not connected to the mains
4.1.2.1 Battery-powered equipment
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
11
---------------------- Page: 13 ----------------------
oSIST prEN 17645:2021
prEN 17645:2021 (E)
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
