by jbs081709 e3 — August 24, 2009—The International Code Council has announced its intent to develop the nation’s first Comprehensive Swimming Pool Code. This action is designed to provide a coordinated code with other its other widely used International Codes that will meet the requirements of the Virginia Graeme Baker Act and upgrade pool safety.
The code will be developed under the Council’s governmental consensus process with the support of the Association of Pool and Spa Professionals (APSP), bringing together the industry’s finest pool safety experts, contractors, engineers, manufacturers, and other members and stakeholders.
“The scope of the code will respond to the needs of many jurisdictions that still use the
Standard Swimming Pool Code, and integrate the widely used design and safety features of both the APSP standards and the I-Codes,” according to Jay Peters, Executive Director, ICC Plumbing, Mechanical, and Fuel Gas.
