Engineers (ASME), ASME/ANSI Standard A 112.19.8.
e) The Swimming Pool Safety Act :
The Swimming Pool Safety Act (Section 115920 of California Health and Safety Code) requires that new and
remodeled residential private swimming pools, toddler pools, and spas be equipped with at least 2 of the 7
specific drowning prevention safety features listed below:
1. An enclosure that meets the requirements of Section 115923 and isolates the swimming pool or spa from
the private single-family home.
2. Removable mesh fencing that meets American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) Specifications
F2286 standards in conjunction with a gate that is self-closing and self-latching and can accommodate
a key lockable device.
3. An approved safety pool cover, as defined in subdivision (d) of Section 115921.
4. Exit alarms on the private single-family home’s doors that provide direct access to the swimming pool or
spa. The exit alarm may cause either an alarm noise or a verbal warning, such as a repeating notification
that “the door to the pool is open.”
Page 4 of 5
5. A self-closing, self-latching device with a release mechanism placed no lower than 54 inches above the
floor on the private single-family home’s doors providing direct access to the swimming pool or spa.
6. An alarm that, when placed in a swimming pool or spa, will sound upon detection of accidental or
unauthorized entrance into the water. The alarm shall meet and be independently certified to the ASTM
Standard F2208 “Standard Safety Specification for Residential Pool Alarms,” which includes surface
motion, pressure, sonar, laser, and infrared type alarms. A swimming protection alarm feature designed
for individual use, including an alarm attached to a child that sounds when the child exceeds a certain
distance or becomes submerged in water, is not a qualifying drowning prevention safety feature.
7. Other means of protection, if the degree of protection afforded is equal to or greater than that afforded
by any of the features set forth above and has been independently verified by an approved testing
laboratory as meeting standards for those features established by the ASTM or the American Society of
Mechanical Engineers (ASME).
Note: Prior to the issuance of any final approval for the completion of permitted construction or
remodeling work, Building and Safety will inspect for all drowning safety prevention devices required
by this act and if no violations are found, shall give the final approval.
H&S Code Section 115923. An enclosure shall have all of the following characteristics:
a) Any access gates through the enclosure open away from the swimming pool, and are self-closing with
a self-latching device placed no lower than 60 inches above the ground.
b) A minimum height of 60 inches.
c) A maximum vertical clearance from the ground to the bottom of the enclosure of two inches.
d) Gaps or voids, if any, do not allow passage of a sphere equal to or greater than four inches in diameter.
e) An outside surface free of protrusions, cavities, or other physical characteristics that would serve as
handholds or footholds that could enable a child below the age of five years to climb over.
Important definitions:
a) “Swimming pool” or “pool” means any structure intended for swimming or recreational bathing that
contains water over 18 inches deep. “Swimming pool” includes in-ground and aboveground structures
and includes, but is not limited to, hot tubs, spas, portable spas, and nonportable wading pools.
b) “Public swimming pool” means a swimming pool operated for the use of the general public with or without
charge, or for the use of the members and guests of a private club. Public swimming pool does not
include a swimming pool located on the grounds of a private single-family home.
c) “Enclosure” means a fence, wall, or other barrier that isolates a swimming pool from access to the home.
d) “Approved safety pool cover” means a manually or power-operated safety pool cover that meets all of
the performance standards of the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), in compliance
with standard F1346-91.
e) “Exit alarms” means devices that make audible, continuous alarm sounds when any door or window, that
permits access from the residence to the pool area that is without any intervening enclosure, is opened
or is left ajar. Exit alarms may be battery operated or may be connected to the electrical wiring of the
building.
f) “ANSI/APSP performance standard” means a standard that is accredited by the American National
Standards Institute (ANSI) and published by the Association of Pool and Spa Professionals (APSP).
g) “Suction outlet” means a fitting or fixture typically located at the bottom or on the sides of a swimming
pool that conducts water to a recirculating pump.
