Technical Regulation
Technical Regulation to be issued by the Ministry of Social Welfare must meet criteria such as relying on international standards and serve to protect the lives of consumers according to Resolution 3742 of February 2, 2001 of the Superintendency of Industry and Trade, which is relying on the successful intervention ICONTEC.

The ICONTEC is working on developing standards for products, in this case the safety devices for pools and formed several Technical Committees to develop a policy document using international reference documents, in this case American standards, French Australian and regional standards and always within the legal framework that is Act 1209 of 2008.
Technical Committees that were formed are: Siding-Ct177, alarms and emergency stop button-Ct 231, System Safety Vacuum Release-Ct127-Ct and anti-entrapment cover 123
The ICONTEC must ensure that the Technical Committees with the participation of all sector interests be it government, industry, commerce, consumers, unions, associations, private and public entities, since there must be a balance of interests to reach decisions that ultimately and as it says its rules are made by consensus.
Maybe in the committee chaired by Cotelco enclosures, which is presented further discussion regarding the definition of reference documents Americans or Australians or mixing and this due to the particular interests of each sector . Anyway it was very clear from the outset that the Committee did not define whether or not the enclosure placed and at what time, because the 1209 Act already provides.
Colombians trusted the wise work of those who are holding the development of standards and technical regulation of safety in swimming pools and similar structures and do not give rise to interpretations of the law rigged by those who think about their own interests and not the safety of children.
