Our security and
high-security products
Ongoing current global terrorist activity threats continue to drive demand for anti-
terror measures. HIGH-SECURITY products (also known as HVM products) protect the
infrastructure against vehicle-borne threats, creating blast stand-off distance.
Since September 11th 2001, several international accreditation standards have defined essential impact performance requirements
for a vehicle security barrier (VSB) and a test method for rating its performance.
There are essentially 2 standard families :
77US standards with the precursor DOS K-rating which has been replaced and extended by the ASTM F2656-07 standard ;
77UK created PAS68 standard which has been replaced and extended by international standard IWA14-1 (ISO).
Impact resistance equivalences between these standards do not officially exist but all those rating are using the same calculation
method, that of the kinetic energy :
E = ½ (m*U²). Resulting in conclusion :
77M50 <> K12 <> PAS 68 V/7500/80 <> IWA14 V/7200/80 <> 2.000.000 joules
77M40 <> K8 <> PAS 68 V/7500/64 <> IWA14 V/7200/64 <> 1.200.000 joules
77M30 <> K4 <> PAS 68 V/7500/48 <> IWA14 V/7200/48 <> 750.000 joules
Impact resistance will be certified by a crash-test, a computer simulation or an engineer calculation.
SECURITY products are also defined by US, UK and ISO standards. For these products the impact resistance are between 200.000
joules and 700.000 joules.
HIGH-SECURITY and SECURITY products also differentiate themselves by several features such as : passage width, obstacle
height, foundation depth, rising/ lowering speed and also the Emergency Fast Operation (E.F.O) which is mandatory for high-
security installations.
