Our office has received a copy of the 2012 - ICC Swimming Pool

and Spa Code........Does anyone know if this "new" code has

any certification testing available [ i.e. - can someone now test

to be a certified Swimming Pool And Spa inspector? ].

Thanks!

APPROVED AGENCY. An established and recognized agency regularly engaged in conducting tests or furnishing inspection services, when such agency has been approved by the code official

How's that for a wishy washy definition

Coug Dad,

Can you please explain in simpler terms?.....I'm kinda slow!

Does "The Cow" offer testing, or will they be offering

testing on their "new" code?

[jpranch]

north star, not yet. This too will come to pass. If you build it they will come.

 

[GBrackins]

if you build it correctly they will stay ... ; )

I got mine yesterday. Funny my first thought was "Now there will be a pool & spa inspetor certification". I would put good money on the yes there will be side.

Just seems like this could have been a chapter in the IBC.

Y'all getting this book for free, are they just sending it out?

By free, you mean aside from the $10,000 we spend every 3 years for books, commentaries, CD's and training seminars??

We did not order or pay for it in the actual write a check sense.

What does it say about locking/latching of the interior doors leading to the pool in a hotel or recreation facility?

Yes righter101, "free" is a relative term in this case.

I'm looking through the code now and it really doesn't address pools inside of buildings. Section 305 Barrier Requirements 305.2 talks about Outdoor swimming pool and spas. All of the subsections under 305.2 talks about the requirement i.e. barrier height, openings, chain link etc. But in my opinion these sections are all about "outdoor" swimming pools.

Then Section 305.3 Gates covers all pools. But no mention of doors.

305.4 Structure wall as barrier.... mentions doors however it starts off by saying....Where a wall of a dwelling or structure serves as part of the barrier, doors and operable windows...blah blah... The goes on to talk about the alarms and self closing devices... researching further... gotta go

Lori,

From Section 305.2, `12 ISPSC: Outdoor swimming pools and spas.

All outdoor aquatic vessels and indoor swimming pools shall be surrounded

by a barrier that complies with :Next('./icod_ispsc_2012_3_sec005_par002.htm')'>Sections 305.2.1 through 305.7.



From Section 305.3 - Gates:

Access gates shall comply with the requirements of Sections 305.3.1

through :Next('./icod_ispsc_2012_3_sec005_par015.htm')'>305.3.3 and shall be equipped to accommodate a locking device.

Pedestrian access gates shall open outward away from the vessel and

shall be self-closing and have a self-latching device.

A "gate" may be considered a door in this case, ...maybe!

Thanks Mule and North Star.

The one thing that I do like is there is a section on wal-mart blowup pools

The ICC don't like you! They are never going to like you and are not going to even think about liking you!

 

[fatboy]

Man......bummer............

 

[pwood]

Oh, I'm not terribly upset......just feel all left out........you know, the last kid picked for the team.....

played a whole lot of right field i would guess! So do you give the old jocks turned builders a thorough inspection now? :mrgreen:

 

[fatboy]

Nah, that would be basketball for me.......I had wheels for baseball. And, everyone gets the thorough inspection.... small man syndrome.
