When calculations are carried out in accordance with Annex B, no limit states shall be exceeded at combinations of loads as given in B.2. !deleted text" In some cases, these specific calculations or tests are not appropriate but the structural integrity shall be at least equivalent. Each structure shall resist both the permanent and variable loads acting on equipment and parts of equipment as described in Annex C. No allowance for accidental loads, i.e. loads produced by fire, collision by vehicles or earthquake has to be made for swimming pool equipment. The loads associated with fatigue are much smaller than the loads in combination with the appropriate load factors when calculated according to B.2. Therefore, swimming pool equipment need not be verified for fatigue. Structural parts shall resist the worst case loading condition. SIST EN 13451-1:2011+A1:2017
