Rating
The slip resistance requirements only refer to walking
surfaces of slopes, steps and treads located on the inner side
of the basin, under the water line or not, and allowing the user
to go down into the water.
These requirements do not apply to:
- slopes or steps that are not intended to enter the water ;
- water slides;
- starting platforms;
- diving boards, or
- any similar equipment.
Requirements apply to slopes as a means of access with an
inclination of more than 15°.
If the slope declination is less than 15°, the requirements only
apply from the water level to 600 mm depth.
The walking surfaces of the relevant means of access have to
comply with slip resistance requirements that shall be tested
according to the Annex A of CEN/TS 16165. Rating groups
are defined in Table 4:
The requirements for the different means of access are given
in Table 5:
A higher rating group may be taken into account by the
installer and/or retailer if the swimming pool is to be used by
people with mobility issues.
In case there are different walking surfaces on the same tread
or step or slope, the choice will be possible between:
- testing each surface (if possible): each one shall comply
independently with the standard; or
-
testing the whole surface as it is designed.
