What standards apply to Overseas or International Aqua Designs?
Most European Union member countries have adopted the ISO standards. However those standards do not address a multitude of construction, design and safety issues that have been addresses in the United States Building Codes.
International Building Code
The IBC is THE building code across the Unites States (except Wisconsin). The IBC had incorporated the ANSI/NSPI/APSP standards as well as related construction standards.
Therefore, the IBC should be a basis for defining the standards on an international project, where local codes do not address a particular issue.
International Swimming Pool Code
APSP has released an International Swimming Pool Code. While not all encompassing, it is also a good BASIC starting point. It is generic in many of the areas it addresses, because it refuses to establish a minimum level of acceptable workmanship. Where it does establish a criteria, this should be only be a "not to exceed" standard.
