REGULATIONS
Below are important requirements that you should be aware of prior to using and operating your
spa per European Standard EN 17125:2018.
MEANS OF ACCESS AND SPA ACCESSORIES
All accessories that are supplied shall be safe and compatible with the spa as required by section 4.3
of EN17125. The user can only use accessories exclusively provided by the spa manufacturer (i.e.
Master Spas manufactured insulating cover) for safety reasons (section 6.1 d).
Means of access is not provided with the spa. Accessories necessary for means of access must meet
European standard EN 17125. The type of means of access to the spa must be considered (ingress
and/or egress where not obvious). Access means can be either secured or unsecured. See Accessory
Manufacturer Specifications for the following:
• the commercial name or reference;
• an indication of the maximum allowable weight permitted on the means of access;
• illustrations repeating the overall dimensions of the product;
• stepping height and width of the wall, if appropriate for ingress and egress;
• if appropriate, any indication concerning the construction of onsite reinforcement works for
installing the means of access;
• the warranty period(s) of the means of access;
• Proper care instructions for winterization.
NOTE:
A handrail may be proposed with the means of access in case of use by people with mobility
issues.
Consult manufacturer or contractor for proper care during winterization and to review maximum
weight allowed. Means of access shall not be used for any purpose besides for spa entry. Stairs used
for entry to the spa/swim spa must comply with section 4.6.4 of EN 17125.
A cover lifter, when
applicable, should be designed to keep the cover off the ground when in use,
to avoid dirt and debris getting on the cover.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS OF SPA ACCESSORIES
Electrically operated accessories shall comply with electrical safety standards and regulations
(national and European). They must be assembled in accordance with the manufacturer’s manual.
The electrical installation of any material related to the spa and its surroundings shall comply with
national requirements.
SAFETY DEVICES
• A safety cover or other safety protection device(s) shall be used, or all doors and windows
(where applicable) shall be secured to prevent unauthorized access to the spa.
• Barriers, covers, alarms, or similar safety devices are helpful aids, but they are not substitutes
for continuous and competent adult supervision.
SAFETY EQUIPMENT
• It is recommended to keep rescue equipment (e.g. a ring buoy) by the spa (if appropriate).
• Keep a working phone and a list of emergency phone numbers near the spa.
