Enacted by the U.S. President Bush on December 2007, the Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act (P&SSAct) is effective since the December 19, 2008. This code is planned to foreclose swimming pools jeopardies. The risks of pools like body entrapments or eviscerations are more often out of sight and fatal.

The Virginia Graeme Baker Act settled U.S. CPSC standards for pool and spa insurance. Under the regulation, all drain covers must meet ASME/ANSI A112.19.8-2007 in all public swimming pools and Spas. The water facilities which have only one main drain different than an unblockable drain must put in a 2nd system to fight out entrapments.

The manufacture, the sale or retail of drain covers which are not in compliancy with the security touchstones required by the CPSC is prohibited in USA to ensure that all drain covers purchasable in the market are compliant with safety specs.

Each public pools must set up anti-entrapment drain covers and enforce other layers of security such as safety vacuum release systems or barriers.

A mandated contractor should control that the pool and / or spa are compliant with the federal VGB Pool & Spa Safety Act.
