[Available Superseded]Swimming pools — Premoulded fibre-reinforced plastics — Design and fabrication
Sets out requirements for premoulded plastic swimming pools exceeding 7500 L in volume and 750 mm in depth, constructed from fibre-reinforced plastics based on thermosetting resin systems. Minimum design soil loads are given for the design of the pool. In-service performance requirements for service degradation are set out and a water resistance test is described using a temperature of 80 degrees Celsius.
