Testing
Realistic, standardised testing with PAS 13 compliance and independent verification from TÜV Nord ensure that A-SAFE barriers are fit for purpose.
The most heavily tested safety barrier in the world
Our HQ is equipped with the most advanced dedicated safety barrier testing facilities in the world. We regularly invite customers for tours and demonstrations, proudly operating with transparency and honesty. Opening our doors for customers gives them full visibility and trust in our products. This trust in testing is the foundation for meaningful long-standing relationships with many of the best-known global companies.
Standardised tests to PAS 13, verified by TÜV Nord
PAS 13 is published by the British Standards Institution (BSI). It is the world’s first and most widely used code of practice for safety barriers in industrial workplaces. PAS 13 specifies criteria for the impact testing and installation of workplace safety barriers.
Compliance with PAS 13 sets our barriers apart. It means we employ dynamic standardised testing, replicating real-life rather than relying on slow “push” tests or running ad-hoc unscientific impacts. Most importantly, we invite TÜV Nord to observe our tests and verify product performance. Our TÜV Nord verification mark applies to our testing as well as our range of impact products. Most importantly, we can provide the certification to prove it.
Global safety standardsRating to repeat impacts vs rating to fail point
All our impact products are designed, tested and rated for repeat impacts from a specific weight and speed of vehicle. A test is only considered a success if the product withstands and recovers from the impact without failing. This approach provides complete transparency for our customers, while also ensuring our products deliver massive costs savings in maintenance and repairs. Many other safety barrier suppliers simply rate their products according to the point of failure. This can result in misleading joules ratings and a significantly increased risk of injuries and costly barrier repairs.
