CEN TC 136 - Sports, Playgrounds and other Recreational Facilities NORMAPME Mirror Committee

This is the Mirror Committee for TC 136 - Sports, Playgrounds and other Recreational Facilities. The Mirror Committee is the group of SMEs that support the NORMAPME expert in presenting the views of SMEs during the drafting of standard.

Tourism SMEs were extremely concerned by the work on operational safety requirements in swimming pools as it could affect daily activities of small hotels. Normapme is represented in CEN TC 136 to ensure that the requirements of this standard are not burdensome for small hotels.

Unfortunately, the standard on operational safety for swimming pools was adopted in 2008 after a harsh campaign. We will continue our activities in this Technical Committee to limit the negative impact of consultants and certifiers may have in it for SMEs. NORMAPME has also supported the creation of a CEN TC dedicated to family swimming pools whose producers are to their overwhelming majority SMEs. Our activities regarding swimming pools will be both in the CEN TC 136 WG 8 and in this new CEN TC ( CEN TC 402) to protect and to defend both SMEs as swimming pools operators (e.g. hotels) and as manufacturers.
