The Process of Pool Certification
Step 1
Fill out and submit the online Agreement for Swimming Pool Inspection form, or call us and we will send you a form. We will contact you to arrange a time and date convenient for you.
Step 2
Under the Building Professionals Act 2005 it is a requirement that the above mentioned agreement is entered into by completing the form and that fees are paid prior to any inspection. Payment can be by Visa, Mastercard, Paypal, EFT.
Step 3
Our qualified E1 Certifier will come and inspect your pool (usually around 45-60 minutes).
Step 4
If your pool is compliant a Certificate of Compliance will be issued and emailed to you the same day and a hard copy mailed to you. We can also send a copy direct to your solicitor or real estate. The NSW Pool Safety Register will be updated noting compliancy. Your Certificate of Compliance is valid for 3 years.
That’s it – full compliance achieved and finalised!!
If your pool does not meet compliancy
Step 5
You will receive a written Notice of Non-Compliance and we will provide you with a comprehensive report setting out detailed descriptions, photographs and various recommendations and options on how to rectify the issues that did not pass. We will email this report to you within 24 hours of inspection and provide you with a hard copy at your request.
Step 6
You will need to rectify these issues and get your pool reinspected within 6 weeks of initial inspection date. We can recommend reputable, reliable pool fencers to help you fix the issues. When the issues are fixed Pool Fence Certifiers Sydney will come back out and reinspect your pool.
Step 7
If your pool passes the second inspection, a Certificate of Compliance will be issued and emailed to you the same day of reinspection and a hard copy mailed to you. We can also send a copy direct to your solicitor or real estate. The NSW Pool Safety Register will be updated noting compliancy. Your Certificate of Compliance is valid for 3 years.
That’s it – full compliance achieved and finalised!!
IMPORTANT: If you do not rectify these issues or the inspection does not pass within 6 weeks of initial inspection date, a copy of the Notice of Non-Compliance will be forwarded to your local government who will get in contact with you.
Note:
If you are selling your home, you can opt to attach a Certificate of Non-Compliance to your Contract of Sale. This means the buyer takes on responsibility for the Certificate of Compliance. The buyer has chosen to accept that the pool is non compliant and the buyer has 90 days from settlement to rectify the pool barrier non-compliances. It is the buyer’s responsibility to then contact and organise an inspection.
