INSPECTION CERTIFICATION SERVICE
IT’s it time to have inspection done again four year goes fast ?
DOES YOUR SWIMMING POOL BARRIER COMPLY WITH CURRENT REGULATIONS
Certificate of Barrier Compliance
On 1 December 2019, new laws to improve swimming pool and spa safety came into effect in Victoria. It is now mandatory for owners of land where a swimming pool or spa is located to register their pool or spa with the relevant council.
Failure to lodge certificate of barrier compliance by date specified up to $1,652.20 Fine
Owners are also required to have their safety barriers inspected and to lodge a certificate of barrier compliance with their council. If a safety barrier is not compliant, it is the owner’s responsibility to make the barrier compliant.
The new laws apply to swimming pools and spas that are capable of holding more than 300 mm (30 cm) of water. This includes permanent pools, above ground pools, indoor pools, hot tubs, bathing or wading pools and some relocatable pools.
Relocatable pools that do not consist of multiple components and do not require any assembly are not subject to the barrier requirements. An example of such a product is a small inflatable pool that requires no assembly other than inflation.
POOL AND SPA INSPECTION:
Our VBA qualified Pool and Spa Barrier Inspector will inspect your pool barrier to determine compliance with the Australia standards stated by council. If your barrier is compliant then nothing needs to be done and the inspector will issue you with a Certificate of Compliance.
Non-compliant barriers:
If it is determined that your pool barrier does not meet the
Australian Standards and is therefore non-compliant, the Inspector will write up
a form 24 a Certificate of Pool and Spa Barrier NON COMPLIANCE. And you receive a detailed report of the changes that you need to make to ensure compliance. You may receive a sixty days notice to meet the requirements. The barrier must be re-inspected
before a certificate can be issued.
