47、aximum depth of water over 400 mm measured, between the overflow level and the deepest point within the pool; NOTE 1 For information regarding the classification of pools as toys see European Commission guidance document No. 8 from Bibliographical Entry 1. pools with maximum depth of water over 400
48、mm measured, between the overflow level and the deepest point within the pool, without play elements covered e.g. by the EN 16582 series or EN 16927.
