Abstract
Suspended ceilings in indoor swimming pools are safety‐relevant components. As was demonstrated by the collapses of the ceiling of the Uster (CH) indoor swimming pool (1985) and again at Steenwijk (NL, 2001) greater attention has to be paid to selecting suitable materials and inspecting the state of such components. Our findings according to corrosion of metal fastening components of more than 150 indoor swimming pools in Switzerland are reported. The corrosion behaviour of stainless steels and galvanized steels are compared and discussed including newer results from the literature.
