Certified to ASTM F1346 — The Pool Safety Standard That Matters
ASTM F1346 exists to reduce child drowning. It's a specific safety protocol with load tests, perimeter gap tests, and drainage tests. Every Integra cover meets or exceeds the ASTM F1346 standard to provide indomitable protection.
What the ASTM F1346 Standard Actually Requires
Strength Test — Minimum 485 Pounds Static Load
The standard requires support for 485 lbs. Integra covers are engineered for extreme durability, supporting up to 1,000 lbs.
Perimeter Seal Test — No Gap Access
Ensures no opening large enough for a child's head. Our precision track system eliminates access gaps completely.
Surface Drainage Test — No Dangerous Ponding
Water drains safely through a slight center slope, preventing hazardous accumulation on the cover surface.
Certification Labeling — Verifiable on the Cover
Every authentic Integra cover features a printed ASTM label for immediate verification of safety compliance.
Safety in Daily Use
Controlled Access
Choose between secure rocker switches or digital keypads to ensure only authorized adults can operate the system.
Full Perimeter Coverage
Our advanced fabric extends to within millimeters of the pool edge, providing a seamless safety barrier that stays taut.
Layered Supervision
While ASTM covers provide incredible protection, they are part of a multi-layer approach. Active supervision remains the primary line of defense.
Pool Covers and State Fencing Laws
In many jurisdictions, an ASTM F1346 certified automatic pool cover is recognized as a legal alternative to a traditional safety fence. This allows for unobstructed views and a cleaner architectural profile without sacrificing safety compliance.
The Role of Your Installer
A safety cover is only as effective as its installation. Proper tensioning, track alignment, and motor calibration are critical to achieving the ASTM performance standards. Integra technicians are trained for surgical precision.
