The ANSI-APSP-7 standard is the first comprehensive systems approach to engineering swimming pools and spas to avoid suction-entrapment hazards. It is the only standard that protects against the three root causes oof entrapments: 1) suction, 2) water velocity, and 3) mechanical binding. Based on the best science and practices, ANSI-APSP-7 offers technically sound solutions to prevent all forms of entrapment: hair, limb, body, mechanical entrapment, and evisceration.
This key APSP safety standard provides a model code for national, state, and local officials, which APSP urges all states to adopt. ANSI/APSP-7 is consistent with the Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act and current U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) interpretations. The International Code Council adopted this standard in 2008 for incorporation into the 2009 International Building Code and International Residential Code (IRC), Appendix G.

Can you afford to pay fines or rebuild your pools or inground spas if they are found to be non-compliant?
You now can conduct your own inspections and verify if a pool or inground spa actually complies with the VGB Act.
Complying with the VGB Act is more than just replacing drain covers. It requires a comprehensive analysis of the hydraulic characteristics of pools or inground spas to accurately measure the flow rate.
To avoid potential legal and financial liability, in-field verification is necessary. You need to know and be able to prove that your pool and spa upgrades are really in compliance with the Virginia Graeme Baker (VGB) Pool and Spa Safety Act.
