Scope

This Standard -
(a) classifies pump-units according to motor design (single-speed, two-speed, multi-speed and variable-speed) and flow rate;
(b) describes the testing of pumps for energy consumption and noise, including criteria for accuracy;
(c) describes the calculations required to determine the energy characteristics; and
(d) specifies the data to be included in the test reports.
This Standard applies to pump-units intended to be used in the operation of swimming pools and spa pools. This Standard covers all single phase pump-units that are capable of a flow rate equal to or greater than 120 L/min. This Standard applies to single-speed, dual-speed, multi-speed and variable speed pump-units with an input power of less than or equal to 2500 W for any of the available speeds.
This Standard covers pump-units for the circulation of water through pool filters, sanitisation devices, cleaning devices, water heaters (including solar) and pump-units for circulation of water through spa or jet outlets or other features forming part of the pool.
This Standard covers pump-units that form part of a complete new pool installation as well as pump-units intended for sale as replacements for existing pools.
This Standard covers all water-retaining structures designed for human use -
(i) that are capable of holding more than 680 litres of water; and
(ii) that incorporate, or are connected to, equipment that is capable of filtering and heating any water contained in it and injecting air bubbles or water into it under pressure so as to cause water turbulence.
This Standard does not cover spa baths or pump-nits for use in spa baths (less than or equal to 680 litres).
