About IWA-14-1

An international recognised impact test for vehicle security barriers

IWA 14-1:2013 is the most current and comprehensive standard against which Vehicle Security Barriers (VSBs) may be tested; consequently, CPNI advocates its use. IWA 14 is an impact test standard that details the process and method of measuring the performance of a particular VSB.

IWA is the International Workshop Agreement and is considered a universal test standard with input from UK and US departments. It identifies the size of vehicle, the test mass, the vehicle speed, the angle and the performance. These measurements are used to determine what solution is most suitable for the location and risk.

About VADS

VADS is a standard for testing aggressive and repetitive vehicle impacts in accordance with CPNI

The Vehicle Access Delay Standard (VADS) has been developed for testing barriers, mostly used at temporary events. The UK’s Centre for the Protection of National Infrastructure (CPNI) now also accommodates the test for permanent solutions.

For projects and situations concerned with vehicle borne threats, including vehicle-as-a-weapon attacks, VADS rated Vehicle Security Barriers (VSBs) are not a substitute for IWA 14-1 and PAS 68 barriers. Rather, VADS rated VSBs provide an alternative risk-based option for event managers and other risk owners, that is pragmatic and affordable at the highest levels of protection.

More details about VADS rating can be found on the CPNI site. (Link to CPNI.gov.uk page)
