I got done with an inspection this morning that had a pool in the back yard. One side of the fence had a self closing, self latching access man size access gate. The other side a double gate, that could fit a small truck through with no additional hardware.
My question is, does this double gate need to have self closing, self latching hardware to be considered safe?
Since we don’t have a speciaifed set of rules here I used the CPSC ones. The Southern Nevada Pool Code is basically the same. If there is a Vehicle Gate then it should be self latching but doesn’t need to be self closing.

better reread what your link & BK says he knows his $h!tz!
“All Other Gates (Vehicle Entrances, Etc.)
Other gates should be equipped with self-latching devices. The
self-latching devices should be installed as described for pedestrian
gates,”
