The Uniform Swimming Pool Spa and Hot Tub Code© is the only model code governing the installation, inspection and maintenance of swimming pool, spa and hot tub systems and their component products.

• New requirements for building ventilation and indoor air quality for indoor aquatic facilities or venues
• New requirements for natatoriums to prevent the movement of moisture into building surfaces that an result in damage to the building structure
• New artificial or natural lighting requirements for public aquatic venues that provide minimum lighting levels to be maintained while in use in order to identify, below the water surface, bathers that are in distress or objects that could pose a danger

IAPMO first developed and published the USPSHTC, which governs the installation and inspection of both public and private swimming pools, spas, and hot tub systems, in March 1967. Just like the 2009 and 2012 editions of this code, the 2015 USPSHTC was produced using the American National Standards Institute accredited, open-consensus process.
