This pool and spa barrier checklist helps inspectors and property owners assess compliance with AS 1926.1-2012 after May 2013. It covers barrier height and ground clearance, member spacing, material durability, non-climbable zones (NCZ 1–5), and strength and rigidity requirements. Sections detail gate and latch operation, hinge spacing, tamper shielding, and maximum gaps. It also outlines door and window rules for openings to the pool area, boundary fence specifications from the pool side, intersecting barriers, and retaining wall and balcony considerations. Guidance includes checks for glass barriers, mesh and perforated materials, above-ground pools and spa equipment, documentation of comments and media, risk observations, and inspection completion.
