The recent changes to French Law meant that all privately owned swimming pools had to have an approved safety device, conforming to AFNOR Standards, in place prior to 1st January 2006. Additionally, all rented properties, or properties with a pool in collective use, must also have a self closing and self locking gate as part of their fence, to prevent accidental access to the pool by children below the age of five years.

The CSC (Centre de sécurité des consommateurs) recommends the installation of a pool safety fence or barrier as it is the only passive security device. All the other approved means of security; alarms, rigid safety covers, shelters(abris) need to be actively turned on, or physically closed, every time the pool is vacated (even for a few minutes) and as such should be seen as supplementary to a physical barrier.

At Life Saver our attitude on swimming pool safety is rather hardcore. Accidents are unforeseeable events which cannot normally be avoided. A toddler falling into an unprotected home pool and drowning or becoming a near drowning victim is not an "accident."

Our removable safety fences are the strongest and safest on the market using the highest quality components to ensure that you, the customer, have peace of mind. Our fences and self closing gates exceed all ASTM safety standards in the USA and conform fully to the AFNOR Standard NF P90 306, which is currently the only safety standard in use in Europe relating to fences for private swimming pools.
