5 Tick Certified Product
What does the Australian Standards 5 Tick Certified Product mean to you?
Barrier Reef Pools set the benchmark around the World for best practices in Manufacturing the highest quality fibreglass pools. There is no better way to prove this than by obtaining the prestigious Australian standards five tick product Certification.
To gain this certification Barrier Reef Pools had to apply to Sai Global who is the Australian Standard Approval Authority.
Their approval process is extremely involved and they assessed all sections of Barrier Reef Pools fibreglass pool manufacturing process and procedures.
All materials supplied are rigidly controlled to meet performance specifications. There are no exceptions. This applies to gelcoat, resins, glass reinforcing materials, additional fixtures and fittings. All these materials are Lloyds of London / DNV approved products for the manufacture of fibreglass swimming pools.
The manufacturing process is monitored, documented, and recorded at every step, from the beginning process of preparing the mould, through to the full production, final detailing, inspection, storage, and transporting to the site.
The operating conditions of the manufacturing facilities, such as temperature and humidity, are closely monitored and adjusted accordingly.
Once the pool is released from the mould, stringent and comprehensive testing is performed. The gelcoat finish and colour is visually inspected. The hardness of the surface is measured, as well as the wall thickness being checked at more than 25 positions around the pool. This is done by ultrasonic mechanic testing and recording. Every pool is weighed using an electronic digital scale to ensure the specified amount of material has been used during production stages to meet standards.
Every pool is embossed with Barrier Reef Pools name as well as a unique 5 digit number which enables tracking and tracing of that pool easily for everyone to identify. Barrier Reef Pools master files record and document quality tests and results. They also keep and store a cut out of every pool shell manufactured in the Barrier Reef Pools library, making it easy for future reference.
