🇬🇧 English

The order defines how swimming pools are grouped for water monitoring. Most pools are classified by their maximum theoretical attendance: type A for more than 100 people, type B for 16 to 100 people, and type C for 15 people or fewer. It also sets special classifications for pools in tourist accommodation, healthcare and medical-therapy settings, and residential complexes. Operators should identify their pool type because that classification will determine how water monitoring rules apply.
