The ASTM standard
for pool alarms (F2208-02) was approved in 2002. It was
created in order to provide a minimum performance standard
for pool alarms so that consumers can make better choices
when buying such product. To read more about their requirements

For a pool alarm
system to be officially certified to this standard, it must
pass a battery of tests as well as provide specific functions.
The most difficult part of the certification is passing
the detection tests (using 2 types of simulators) under
varying conditions including a wind tunnel above the pool.
