The fact that an Owner has obtained a Certificate of Compliance in relation to their pool or spa safety barrier is only one step in the process to ensure that the barrier remains compliant

The Building Regulations impose an obligation on an Owner to maintain the Pool or Spa Safety Barrier which includes making sure that the barrier is free of any climb points which may allow a young child to gain access into the pool or spa area. Trees and shrubs located within the prescribed non climb zones which provide a 10 mm foot or finger hold need to be constantly trimmed or monitored.

Pool or spa barrier gates are a critical component of the pool or spa safety barrier which require periodic maintenance to ensure that the pool barrier gate latching device  is working correctly and that the gate closes from any position in is arc of swing including from resting on the latch position.
