On a pool job in Brisbane, how far does the switchboard have to sit from the water?
Standardsmate™
Keep the switchboard clear of the pool's classified zones. Zone 1 alone runs 2.0 m out from the pool edge.

The zones are measured from the pool edge, and the board also needs to stay serviceable without standing in a wet area.
