BSi PAS 68 |
What is BSi PAS 68? The BSI Publically Available Specification for vehicle security barriers BSi PAS 68 has been prepared to address the needs of organizations who wish to have assurance that vehicle security barriers will provide the level of impact resistance that they seek. Many systems are available that are either promoted or considered suitable for use as vehicle security barriers. As their characteristics differ in both function and form, a comparative means of assessing their performance is required. BSi PAS 68 specifies a classification system for the performance of vehicle security barriers and their supporting foundations when subjected to a single horizontal impact. |

In the course of this document three alternative assessment methods of determining the performance classification of vehicle security barriers are given: The vehicle impact method the pendulum method (only suitable for testing bollards at lower energy levels) the design method. This PAS identifies impact test tolerances and vehicle performance criteria that need to be met in order to conform to it. Design guidance is provided in BSi PAS 69.
Frontier Pitts Ltd manufacturers the ANTI TERRA RANGE which is the only complete range of high security impact tested to BSi PAS 68. The Anti Terra Range includes the Terra Gate, Terra Blocker, Terra Shallow Blocker, Terra Mount Blocker, Terra Bollards, Terra Road Closer, Terra Beam, Terra Hinged Gate, Terra Barrier, Terra V Gate and Terra Diamond Turnstile. Each Terra product is available in 3 different models depending on the BSi PAS 68 rating (speed of a potential attack vehicle) and the level of security at each site.
