If since 1st January 2004, all new swimming pools must be equipped with a security system labeled NC, from January 2006, all pools that were built before the decree of enforcement should also be equipped a safety device. The non-enforcement exposes the violator to a fine of 45 000. The installations concerned are private pools for individual use or group whose basin is buried or semi-buried.

Pools located in a building, as well as those placed on the ground, inflatable or collapsible are not affected by the discount standards.

The main safety

There are currently marketing a range of proposals to be in compliance with the law. Prices fluctuate depending on the equipment: a few hundred dollars to over 40 000 for telescopic facilities to cover the pool in summer and winter.

- Protections: Constructed so as to prevent the passage of children under 5 years by crossing over, or climbing by means of opening access. They must be of a height of at least 1.10 m strong and firmly fixed to the ground, fitted with a door access security.

- Alarms: There are two kinds of detectors fall sensor immersed and infra-red barriers.

- Blankets: Rigid or semi-rigid, they must prevent the involuntary disposal of a child under 5 years.

- Shelter: As barriers, shelters should be constructed to prevent the intrusion of a child under 5 years by crossing over, or climbing by means of opening access.
Knowing that the law requires all private and professional landlords to comply with standards, better anticipate! Indeed, the equipment is currently difficult to find, the demand is now stronger than supply.
