PAS 68 crash tested is an industry testing standard which identifies impact test methods, tolerances, test vehicle type and performance criteria that needs to be met. It has been prepared to address the needs of organisations who wish to have the assurance that vehicle security barriers (VSB) will provide the level of impact resistance that they seek.

PAS 68 specifies the essential impact performance requirement for a Automatic Rising Bollard  and a test method for rating its performance when subjected to a single impact by a test vehicle. The test vehicle is not driven by a human being.

PAS 68 is the industry testing standards that set out the criteria for physically impact testing our Vehicle Security Barriers and provide our clients with the assurance that they will provide the highest levels of physical protection against a potentially hostile vehicular attack.

Madoors Pas68 Rising Bollards are designed for high security vehicle entrances, army, industrial, governmental and commercial buildings or streets which are closed to vehicle traffic between certain hours of the day. Both "High Security" and "Commercial" type Madoors Pas68 crash test rated Rising Bollards have the same strength, whereas "Commercial" bollards are shorter than the "High Security" ones. The thickness of the bollard, the underground construction, the self-lubricating sealing and guide ring made of special plastic types, hydraulic piston, flange thicknesses and diameters, hydraulic connections, installation and drainage procedures etc. are all the same. These units are designed to PAS 68 standards. Finite element analysis can be supplied upon request. Typical raise/lower time is 3 seconds but it is possible to design the system to raise/lower in 1.5 seconds.
