These are the main changes introduced with the Swimming Pool Regulation 2018 that affect certification work:

  • Certifiers must record details for certificates of non-compliance on the Swimming Pool Register within three days of inspection.
  • Pool barriers may comply with the BCA using deemed-to-satisfy or performance solution pathways.
  • Occupiers must display a warning notice while a pool is under construction.
  • More flexibility in how spa pools can be secured.
  • Minor changes to warning notice requirements.
