Swimming Pools Act 1992

The requirements for the issue of a certificate of compliance in respect of a swimming pool are that—

the swimming pool is registered under Part 3A, and

the swimming pool complies with the requirements of this Part.

A local authority or a registered certifier must issue a certificate of compliance in respect of a swimming pool if the local authority or registered certifier—

has inspected the swimming pool under this Division, and

is satisfied that the requirements for the issue of a certificate of compliance have been met.

A local authority or a registered certifier must not issue a certificate of compliance except as provided by subsection (2).

A local authority or a registered certifier may refuse to issue a certificate of compliance until any fee payable for the inspection has been paid.

A certificate of compliance in respect of a swimming pool is to be issued to the owner of the premises on which the pool is situated in a form approved by the Secretary.

A certificate of compliance remains valid for a period of 3 years from the date on which it is issued but ceases to be valid if a direction is issued under section 23 in respect of the swimming pool to which the certificate relates.

A local authority or registered certifier that issues a certificate of compliance in respect of a swimming pool must ensure that details of the certificate are entered on the Register, by providing the details to the Secretary in a form approved by the Secretary.

The regulations may make provision for or with respect to the time and manner in which any such information is to be entered on the Register.
