The Pool & Hot Tub Alliance announced the upcoming review and revision of ANSI/PHTA/ICC-2 2023 American National Standard for Public Pool and Spa Operations and Maintenance. As part of the revision process, PHTA is accepting applications for the new PHTA-2 Standard Writing Committee.

The PHTA-2 standard covers the operations and maintenance of public pools, spas and other aquatic venues intended to operate with or within recreational water-quality standards. This revision will update water quality requirements, referenced standards and related items only.

The committee will meet under the American National Standards Institute periodic maintenance process to review and consider revisions. Subject matter experts and other stakeholders who would like to serve must participate in the language drafting process and have a working understanding of the current standard. It is expected to take four months.

Stakeholders are also invited to submit change requests to the existing standard for review by the committee. Change requests can be submitted here.

PHTA seeks to establish a diverse committee, ensuring a reasonable balance between all interest categories, individuals and organizations. Some priority will be given to applicants who have experience using, applying and enforcing the PHTA-2 2023 standard.

Read more about the standards development process, or complete the application to serve as a PHTA-2 member here. Applications must be submitted to PHTA by April 13.

Interested parties who may not be SMEs or active users of the standard are encouraged to attend meetings as observers throughout the revision process.
