Enacted by the U.S. President Bush on December 2007, the Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act (P&SSAct) is operating since the December 19, 2008. This regulation is designed to foreclose swimming pools hazards. The risks of pools like body entrapments or eviscerations are more often lying in wait and deadly.

The Virginia Graeme Baker Act settled U.S. CPSC touchstones for pool and spa security. Under the act, all drain covers must fit ASME/ANSI A112.19.8-2007 in all public pools and Spas. The water installations which have only one main drain different than an unblockable drain must put in a 2nd device to contend for entrapments.

The manufacture, the sale or retail of drain covers which are not in conformity with the protection standards required by the CPSC is prohibited in USA to ensure that all drain covers available in the marketplace are compliant with safety specs.

Each public pools must establish anti-entrapment drain covers and enforce other layers of security such as SVRS or fences.

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