PAS 13-compliant and performance-rated polymer barriers

As part of our mission to improve safety on site, A-SAFE pushed for the creation of PAS 13. PAS 13 is the code of practice for safety barrier installation and testing. Created by the British Standards Institution in partnership with the UK Health and Safety Executive and a steering committee of innovative blue-chip companies, PAS 13 covers all aspects of safety barrier usage in the industrial workplace. If barriers are PAS 13-compliant, you can be sure they provide effective protection. 

In addition, PAS 13 brings a standardisation to industrial safety barrier testing. The detailed advice within PAS 13 requires safety barrier manufacturers to comply with strict guidelines around testing and recording data. This ensures customers have peace-of-mind and can trust the performance claims made by manufacturers.  

TÜV Nord-certified polymer barriers

Another way to be sure that safety barriers meet the standards required to protect your facility is to look at independent accreditation from trusted authorities. A-SAFE polymer safety barriers are independently certified by TÜV Nord, world-class experts in testing.

Understanding polymer barriers | A summary

Polymer barriers can feel more complicated to understand than traditional concrete and steel barriers, but the truth is far simpler. Polymer barriers offer advanced, low-maintenance and long-lasting protection at busy sites and facilities. The advancement of technology allows you to protect your workforce, stock and machinery with greater efficiency.
