Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act Drain Cover Standard

Resumen

On May 24, 2019, the Consumer Product Safety Commission (Commission, or CPSC) issued a direct final rule incorporating sections of APSP-16 2017 as the successor drain cover standard under the Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act (VGBA, or Act). We are publishing this final rule to delay the effective date of the CPSC's mandatory standard for drain covers, due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
