This Standard specifies requirements for the design, construction and performance of fences, gates, retaining walls, windows, doorsets and balconies intended to form a barrier that will restrict the access of young children to swimming pools.

NOTES:

1 Public swimming pools have different human dynamics, such as access for people with disabilities, increased gate usage, crowd behaviour and supervision, and the duplication of the requirements of this Standard may not always be appropriate.

2 Appendix D gives a broad guide to some of the key construction criteria that need to be met by some of the more common types of barriers, in order to comply with the requirements of this Standard.
