What Our Members Say
"The ANSI/APSP pool and spa design standards have helped me many times. For example, there was a recent pool project where the customer wanted a pool area that did not meet standards. I would not build it, so we were in jeopardy of losing the project. After explaining the importance of the standards to ensure pool safety, the customer went with us. I think it actually helped us get the contract."

Standards
APSP has been the accredited Standards Development Organization for the nation's pool and spa standards since 1983, and now counts 15 American standards under its purview. These national standards establish voluntary minimum guidelines that, when adopted by governments and agencies, have the force of law.
International Pool & Spa Code
The 2012 edition of the International Swimming Pool and Spa Code is now available. Developed jointly with APSP and the International Code Council (ICC), the ISPSC establishes minimum regulations for public and residential pools, spas, and hot tubs, using prescriptive and performance-related provisions.
