PoolFIX vs 1.4529
The use of stainless steel A1, A2, A4 or A5 (304/316) fasteners is prohibited due to susceptibility to stress corrosion. The best alternative for a durable connection is to choose PoolFIX fasteners. However, these coated articles are not resistant everywhere. In splash zones and below the waterline, material 1.4529 is used. PoolFIX supplies both materials with certificate so you are assured of a safe choice.

NEN 9200:2025
Metal suspension structures and fasteners in swimming pools
The NEN 9200:2025 replaces the earlier NPR 9200:2015 with a higher status as a full NEN standard. It specifies which metals are suitable for suspension structures and fasteners in indoor swimming pools. A2 and A4 grade stainless steel (304/316) is explicitly not permitted.
Operators of public swimming pools are responsible for establishing and periodically executing an inspection plan. The standard applies to both new construction and existing pools. All applied materials must be traceable and properly certified.
Quality Assurance Act
"Since 2022, the Quality Assurance Act is in effect: stricter building supervision for new construction and renovation."
Since 2022, the Quality Assurance Act is in effect: stricter building supervision for new construction and renovation. If there are defects, the client can force the contractor to repair the errors. Even if the client discovers these errors later.
For operators and managers of public pools this means: ensure fasteners in your facility demonstrably comply with NEN 9200:2025. Certified materials with full traceability provide your certainty at every inspection.
INDUSTRY INSIGHT
Why do 80% of pools fail inspections?
Not because of poor maintenance — but because of a lack of overview, structure and follow-up.
Most rejections are not caused by one major problem, but by small issues that are not addressed in time.
No deadlines
Deadlines are missed because there is no system that enforces follow-up.
No evidence
Work has been completed but not documented. At inspection, there is no verifiable evidence.
And this is exactly where things go wrong.

Application
Most assemblies are assembled using bolts, nuts and screws. When these fasteners are the weakest link, they will fail prematurely. Because it is difficult to apply thick protective layers, high-tech surface treatments are used. PoolFIX® 5th generation fasteners are specifically developed for swimming pool applications.
