The purpose of this standard is to establish anti-entrapment performance requirements for public and residential swimming pools, wading pools, field-constructed spas and hot tubs, and any other bather-accessible body of water, including but not limited to, catch pools, infinity edge basins, and water features that contain a skimmer, fully submerged Suction Outlet Fitting Assembly (SOFA) or vacuum port fitting. The term “pool” is used throughout this standard as an identifier for these bodies of water.
