If you are located in Los Angeles, Orange County, or another area requiring product documentation for pool barrier inspections, understanding approval requirements can be confusing.
For many years, the City of Los Angeles utilized the Los Angeles Research Report (LARR) program to evaluate and approve certain building products, including pool safety barriers. While the LARR program has been phased out, inspectors and building departments may still reference LARR when discussing pool barrier requirements.
Today, All-Safe® Pool Fence & Covers utilizes ICC-ES (International Code Council Evaluation Service) evaluation reports and supporting documentation to help demonstrate compliance with applicable building codes and pool safety standards.
We work with homeowners, contractors, HOAs, and inspectors to provide the documentation needed when required for permitting or inspection purposes.
The Los Angeles Research Report (LARR) program was previously used by the City of Los Angeles to approve certain building products, including pool safety fencing.
Around 2025, the LARR program was phased out and is no longer used for current approvals.
Today, Los Angeles and other jurisdictions commonly rely on authorized third-party evaluation services to verify compliance with applicable safety and building code requirements.
All-Safe® Pool Fence & Covers now utilizes ICC-ES (International Code Council Evaluation Service) evaluation reports and supporting documentation to help demonstrate product compliance.
