Federal Pool and Spa Safety Act
The US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is the federal agency responsible for enforcing this act. Compliance checks and recalls that are associated with products are responsibilities of the CPSC.
CPSC recognizes three organizations that conduct testing on drain covers and issue certification. As long as a drain cover is approved by one of these three organizations, it complies with the federal law. They are: the International Association of Plumbing and Mechanical Officials (IAPMO), Underwriters Laboratories (UL), and the National Sanitation Foundation (NSF).

We are asking Congress and the CPSC to allow for a delayed or
phased-in implementation that would extend the requirements
for compliance to December 19, 2009. Click here for more information on how to contact your Senators and Representatives in Congress.
