The City-Parish adopts the International Swimming Pool and Spa Code, which covers spas, whirlpools, and hot tubs alongside pools. Barrier, gate, and latch rules under Section 305 apply. Section 305 also flags glazing adjacent to hot tubs and spas: where the bottom exposed edge of glass is less than 60 inches above a standing or walking surface, it is a hazardous location and must be tempered/safety glazing, unless it is more than 60 inches horizontally from the water's edge. A permit is required to install a spa or hot tub of pool dimensions.
Spas installed without a compliant barrier or with non-safety glazing in a hazardous location fail inspection; corrections are required before use.
