(a) It shall be unlawful to continue the use and occupancy of a swimming pool, spa or hot tub until a copy of a valid bonding and grounding certificate has been made available to the construction official, the pool, spa or hot tub has been inspected, and an electrical certificate of compliance has been issued. This requirement shall apply to any swimming pool, hot tub or spa located on any property other than one or two-family residential property and includes, but is not limited to, pools, hot tubs or spas open for the use of members, residents or the public.

1. The electrical certificate of compliance shall be issued annually by the local enforcing agency upon the presentation of a valid bonding and grounding certificate, satisfactory completion of an inspection by the electrical subcode official and payment of an inspection fee. This certificate shall be evidence that, based upon a visual inspection, the wiring in or around the pool pump and associated electrical equipment is free from electrical safety hazards, and meets the applicable requirements of the electrical subcode.

2. The bonding and grounding certificate shall be issued in accordance with 5:23-2.20(e).

3. A bonding and grounding certificate shall also be required for swimming pools, spas, or hot tubs which either are newly constructed or have undergone modifications that impact the bonding or grounding system. No additional visual inspection shall be required for the issuance of an electrical certificate of compliance where a construction permit is issued for the electrical work pertaining to the pool, spa, or hot tub.

(b) The most recent bonding and grounding certificate and electrical certificate of compliance shall be posted in accordance with 5:23-3.5(f).
