scope:

The particular requirements of this section apply to the basins of swimming pools, the basins of fountains and the basins of paddling pools. They also apply to the surrounding zones of all these basins. In these areas, in normal use, the effect of an electric shock is increased by a reduction in body resistance and contact of the body with earth potential. Swimming pools within the scope of an equipment standard are outside the scope of this standard. For swimming pools for medical purposes special precautions may be necessary. Except for areas especially designed as swimming pools, this section does not apply to natural waters, lakes in gravel pits, coastal areas and similar areas.
