What is required to make a record official as a Certified Pool Operator?

To make a record official as a Certified Pool Operator, it is essential that the document includes the signature of the CPO. The signature serves as a formal acknowledgment of the individual responsible for the management and operation of the pool, indicating that they have completed the necessary training and are knowledgeable about proper pool operation practices, safety measures, and compliance with health regulations. This signature is a vital part of ensuring accountability and traceability in pool operations.

While other options—such as notarization, approval from a supervisor, or filing with the local health department—might have their respective importance in various contexts, they do not constitute the core requirement for a record to be deemed official in the context of CPO documentation. The signature of the CPO directly correlates to the authority and responsibility of the pool operator, thereby establishing the legitimacy of the record.
