This European Standard specifies filtration requirements and test methods of filter elements or media, filtration units or systems designed to be used in domestic swimming pools.

This standard applies to swimming pools as defined in EN 16582ā€‘1 and will be read in conjunction with it.

This standard does not apply to:

  • pools for public use covered by EN 15288ā€‘1 ;

  • spas for domestic or public use;

  • paddling pools according to EN 71ā€‘8 ;

  • pre filtration;

  • natural and nature like pools.

NOTE

For circulation systems see EN 16713ā€‘2 and for treatment systems EN 16713ā€‘3 .
