AS1926.-1986

1.1 Is there any pool fencing around the pool (other than boundary fencing)

1.2 Is the pool fencing at least 1200mm from ground level on the approach side in all areas?

1.3 Is the spacing between vertical uprights less than 100mm?

1.4 Is there less than 100mm ground clearance under the pool fencing?

1.5 Is the ground underneath the pool fence stable?

1.6 For tubular and timber barriers is the lowest climbable member at least 1100mm below the top of the barrier?

1.7 For fences with rails on the inside (where rails are less than 900mm apart) are the vertical members less than 10mm in width ?

1.8 For perforated fences with apertures greater than 12mm(must be less than 50mm) fence must be 1800mm vertical height with 450mm cranked to 135 degrees to the outside?

1.9 Do all fences and posts satisfy tests for strength and<br>rigidity. Fence posts and palings must have sufficient<br>strength and rigidity and be able to sustain reasonable force<br>as expected from an adult? **Test does not apply for Glass<br>Barriers**

1.10 Are glass fences sturdy and of sufficient strength and fit for purpose which is compliant with AS1288?

1.11 Is there a 1200mm non climbable zone from the outside of all pool fencing? (not applicable to perforated material)

1.12 Where gaps in the fence are greater than 10mm is there a 300mm non climbable zone on the inside of the fence? (not applicable to perforated material)

1.13 Are any projections/indentations on the outside of the fence (horizontal) greater/deeper than 10mm (if so are they spaced more than 900mm apart?)

2.1 Do all gates in the pool fencing open away from the pool<br>area?

2.2 Are gates fitted with a self closing device that returns gate<br>to the closed position including from a position adjacent to<br>the lock?

2.3 Is self latching device 1500mm above ground level or shielded by a screen with radius greater than 450mm (with any gaps less than 10mm) to prevent opening by a child.(and at least 150mm from the top of the hand hole opening.)?

2.4 Is the gate latching device incapable of being adjusted<br>during operation or locked on an open position or adjusted<br>without the use of tools?

2.5 Do gate hinges protrude less than 10mm within <br>900mm apart (on approach side) or fitted with a 60° cap. (if greater than 10mm lower Hinge should be 1100mm from top of barrier)?

2.6 Is Gate Protected from Climbing by No Climb Zone<br>1200mm outside and 300mm inside?

2.7 Are all gates and posts able to withstand a reasonable<br>force of approximately 330N and still function as normally (Appendix B) NOTE; Gates must have sufficient strength and rigidity and be able to sustain reasonable force as expected from an adult or a child swinging on the gate and still function. NOTE: TEST DOES NOT APPLY TO GLASS BARRIERS

3.1 Do boundary fence(s) form part of the barrier?

3.2 Is the boundary fence at least 1200mm from ground level on the approach side in all areas?

3.3 Is the spacing between vertical uprights less than 100mm?

3.4 Is there less than 100mm ground clearance under the pool fencing?

3.5 Is the ground underneath the pool fence stable?

3.6 For tubular and timber barriers is the lowest climbable member at least 1100mm below the top of the barrier?

3.7 For fences with rails on the inside (where rails are less than 900mm apart) are the vertical members less than 10mm in width ?

3.8 For perforated fences with apertures greater than 12mm (must be less than 50mm) fence must be 1800mm vertical height with 450mm cranked to 135 degrees to the outside?

3.10 Do all fences and posts satisfy tests for strength and<br>rigidity. Fence posts and palings must have sufficient<br>strength and rigidity and be able to sustain reasonable force<br>as expected from an adult? **Test does not apply for Glass<br>Barriers**

3.11 Is there a 1200mm non climbable zone from the outside of all pool fencing?

3.12 Where gaps in the fence are greater than 10mm is there a 300mm non climbable zone on the inside of the fence?

3.13 Are any projections/indentations on the outside of the fence (horizontal) greater/deeper than 10mm (if so are they spaced more than 900mm apart?)

7.1 Are the walls of the pool used as a barrier and 1200mm?

7.2 Do the walls of the above ground pool have a 1200mm No<br>Climb Zone?

7.3 Is there a separate compliant barrier (fence and gate)<br>around the ladder or pool access point? see Parts 1 and 2 of<br>this report for assessment.

Is the safety barrier compliant with the applicable barrier standard (AS1926.1-1986)?
