A typical compliance inspection takes 30–60 minutes. Before our inspector arrives, please ensure the barrier area is clear of climbable objects and all gates are easily accessible.
Climbable Zone
Checks for trees, furniture, or structures within the 900mm non-climbable zone surrounding the barrier.
Barrier Height
The vertical height of your pool safety barrier must be at least 1.2 meters high from the finished ground level.
Gaps & Openings
We measure gaps under the fence and between vertical bars to ensure they never exceed the 100mm limit.
