Section I: Outdoor swimming pool

An outdoor swimming pool, including an in-ground, above
ground, or on-ground pool, hot tub, or spa, should be
provided with a barrier which complies with the following:
1. The top of the barrier should be at least 48 inches
above grade measured on the side of the barrier which
faces away from the swimming pool. The maximum
vertical clearance between grade and the bottom of the
barrier should be 4 inches measured on the side of the
barrier which faces away from the swimming pool.
Where the top of the pool structure is above grade,
such as an above ground pool, the barrier may be at
ground level, such as the pool structure, or mounted on
top of the pool structure. Where the barrier is mounted
on top of the pool structure, the maximum vertical
clearance between the top of the pool structure and the
bottom of the barrier should be 4 inches.
2. Openings in the barrier should not allow passage of a
4-inch diameter sphere.
3. Solid barriers, which do not have openings, such as a
masonry or stone wall, should not contain indentations
or protrusions except for normal construction
tolerances and tooled masonry joints.
4. Where the barrier is composed of horizontal and
vertical members and the distance between the tops of
the horizontal members is less than 45 inches, the
horizontal members should be located on the
swimming pool side of the fence. Spacing between
vertical members should not exceed 1-3/4 inches in
width. Where there are decorative cutouts, spacing
within the cutouts should not exceed 1-3/4 inches in
width.
5. Where the barrier is composed of horizontal and
vertical members and the distance between the tops of
the horizontal members is 45 inches or more, spacing
between vertical members should not exceed 4 inches.
Where there are decorative cutouts, spacing within the
cutouts should not exceed 1-3/4 inches in width.
6. Maximum mesh size for chain link fences should not
exceed 1-3/4 inch square unless the fence is provided
with slats fastened at the top or the bottom which
reduce the openings to no more than 1-3/4 inches.
7. Where the barrier is composed of diagonal members,
such as a lattice fence, the maximum opening formed
by the diagonal members should be no more than 1-3/4
inches.
8. Access gates to the pool should comply with Section I,
Paragraphs 1 through 7, and should be equipped to
accommodate a locking device. Pedestrian access
gates should open outward, away from the pool, and
should be self-closing and have a self-latching device.
Gates other than pedestrian access gates should have
a self-latching device. Where the release mechanism of
the self-latching device is located less than 54 inches
from the bottom of the gate, (a) the release mechanism
should be located on the pool side of the gate at least 3
inches below the top of the gate and (b) the gate and
barrier should have no opening greater than 1/2 inch
within18 inches of the release mechanism.
9. Where a wall of a dwelling serves as part of the barrier,
one of the following should apply:
(a) All doors with direct access to the pool through that
wall should be equipped with an alarm which
produces an audible warning when the door and its
screen, if present, are opened. The alarm should
sound continuously for a minimum of 30 seconds
within 7 seconds after the door is opened. Alarms
should meet the requirements of UL2017
General-Purpose Signaling Devices and Systems,
Section 77. The alarm should have a minimum
sound pressure rating of 85 dBA at 10 feet and the
sound of the alarm should be distinctive from other
household sounds, such as smoke alarms,
telephones, and door bells. The alarm should
automatically reset under all conditions. The alarm
should be equipped with manual means, such as
