Each answer is written first for the reader who has one question and ninety seconds. The clause pages carry the detail. Every answer is in the page HTML, not behind a script or a form.
| Question | The answer in one paragraph |
|---|---|
| Does ISO 22343-1 apply to your barrier? | It applies to a passive, active, portable or linear barrier used to prevent hostile vehicular access to a site, where the barrier is tested by a single impact from an unmanned vehicle and penetration does not exceed 25 metres. It does not apply to a barrier that only controls traffic, and it excludes blast, ballistic impact, manual attack and control-system attack. |
| What is ISO 22343-1:2023? | It is the published International Standard for the impact performance of a vehicle security barrier, the test method and the performance rating. It was published in September 2023, runs to 55 pages, and cancelled and replaced IWA 14-1:2013. Amendment 1 is at FDIS and will amend it. |
| When will ISO 22343-1 Amendment 1 be published? | No publication date is recorded. ISO records stage 50.00, final text received or FDIS registered for formal approval, on 8 October 2026. The proof, ballot and publication dates are not on the public page. The 15 February 2027 date used here is a planning estimate, not an ISO commitment. |
| How do I read an ISO 22343-1 performance rating? | The NPSA guidance gives the form as barrier type, test type, mass, vehicle class, speed, angle, penetration and debris, for example Bollard V / 7200 [N3C] / 48 / 90 : 2.6 / 5.0. The test type is V for vehicle impact, the mass is in kilograms, the speed is in km/h, the angle is in degrees, and the two figures after the colon are the penetration and debris distances in metres. |
| What is in an ISO 22343-1 test report? | The report records the test house and the test, the barrier and its foundation, the test vehicle and its condition, the impact conditions and geometry, the measurements and the outcome, and a summary of results. It also records any optional assessment, such as pedestrian intruder access or occupant injury, if one was included. |
| What changed from IWA 14-1 to ISO 22343-1? | ISO 22343-1:2023 cancelled and replaced IWA 14-1:2013 after a technical revision. The foreword names four changes: alignment with modern technology and practice, reviewed figures with surface-placed barriers explicitly identified, reporting of the furthest part of the vehicle beyond the datum, and a general review of text and structure. The rating form and the 2 kg debris threshold are not the same as PAS 68. |
| What does ISO 22343-1 Amendment 1 change? | The public record does not say. The amendment is four pages at the DIS stage and is now at stage 50.00, FDIS registered. ISO has not published the text or a change summary. This site does not guess the changes. It tracks the record and will send the diff when the text or a summary is published. |
THE RECORD THIS IS BUILT FROM
Read from the public record, not invented
Every clause answer on this site points to the official record or the public preview behind it, so you can check any line yourself. The register holds 25 records, 111 evidence lines and 100 common failure lines. The dates come from the ISO stage record. The amendment text is not public, and this site does not describe what it changes.
