AS1926.1-1993 Safety Barrier Inspection
This checklist helps inspectors and property managers verify swimming pool safety barriers comply with AS1926.1-1993.

Gate requirements include self-closing and self-latching mechanisms, latch heights, hinge protection, and strength tests. The checklist also assesses boundary fences, windows and doors where a building forms part of the barrier, balconies, retaining walls, and above-ground pools.
