Every pedestrian gate in a York County pool barrier must open outward, be self-closing, and self-latching under the 2021 ISPSC Section 305.3. Where a house wall forms the barrier, a door alarm or a listed safety cover is required.
The 2021 ISPSC South Carolina enforces sets the residential pool safety rules York County inspects. Pedestrian access gates must open outward away from the pool, be self-closing, and carry a self-latching device; where the latch sits below 54 inches, it goes on the pool side behind a shielded opening. Where a dwelling wall serves as part of the barrier and a door opens to the pool, that door needs an audible alarm meeting UL 2017, unless a safety cover listed to ASTM F1346 protects the pool. Public and semi-public pools instead follow SCDHEC Regulation 61-51.
A gate that fails to self-close or self-latch, or a house door to the pool with no alarm and no listed safety cover, is a cited defect that stops the pool from passing inspection.
