s010109 Are inspectors required to inspect pools or spas?

Question

Section 4.2.A.4. Although there is no specific mention of pools, hot tubs, etc., am I correct to assume that not being required to inspect them would fall under the section of the Standards of Practice listed above?

Response 

You are correct. 4.2.A.4 specifies that the inspector is NOT required to inspect the recreational facilities. And the recreational facilities are defined in the Glossary of Italicized Terms as being: spas, saunas, steam baths, swimming pools.... etc.
