Introduced in 2022, the voluntary Australian standard AS 5348 was developed to provide a series of performance requirements designed to reduce costs associated with pools and spas.<\/p>\n

While maintaining the physical test methods specified in the superseded industry (SPASA) certification scheme, additional requirements have been included to measure such properties as water evaporation rate, lamination stability and water absorption volumes.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The standard sets specific requirements dependent on the product \u2013 they cover:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
