What is PAS 170-1 - Trolley impact test method for bollards about?
PAS 170-1 discusses vehicle security barriers.
PAS 170-1 describes a method for testing the performance of a single bollard, when subjected to a single impact using a 2 500 kg impact trolley at a speed of 16 km/h or 32+3–1 km/h.
PAS 170-1 is for use by manufacturers, distributers, or specifiers of bollards.
Note 1: PAS 170-1 does not cover testing the performance of blockers, planters, or street furniture.
Note 2: PAS 170-1 is not equivalent to a full‑scale vehicle impact test method. PAS 170-1 does not cover the performance of a test item or its control apparatus when subjected to blast explosion, ballistic impact, manual attack with the aid of tools, or electrical manipulation/attack through a control system.
Who is PAS 170-1 - Trolley impact test method for bollards for?
PAS 170-1 on trolley impact test method for bollards is useful for:
- Bollard manufacturers
- Bollard distributors
- Bollard specifiers
Why should you use PAS 170-1 - Trolley impact test method for bollards?
For many years, CPNI has been working in conjunction with BSI, impact test facilities and vehicle security barrier (VSB) manufacturers to develop technical specifications for the testing and deployment of a full range of VSBs. Such VSBs are a means of providing proportionate protection against vehicle-borne threats to key infrastructure, secure events, and crowded places.
The technical specifications have been developed through an extensive programme of full-scale vehicle impact tests using commercially available vehicles from passenger cars to large goods vehicles at prescribed impact speeds.
The purpose of the PAS 170 series is to provide a quick and inexpensive way of evaluating a vehicle security barrier product, under dynamic impact from an impact trolley. The purpose of PAS 1701 is for the testing of bollards designed to meet the vehicle threat posed by criminality and accidental impacts (from low-speed passenger vehicles).
