Open the registerDoes 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.
Last updated: . Written from the public record and the published base standard. Not legal advice; does not certify.
The function decides, not the product name
A bollard, a gate, a blocker, a wall, a planter, a bund or a ditch can be a vehicle security barrier if it is intended to stop a vehicle. An access barrier that only directs traffic is not. Write the intended function first, then choose the product.
The single impact and the 25 metre limit
The test is one impact by one test vehicle that no person drives. A performance rating is not awarded where the vehicle penetrates more than 25 metres beyond the datum line. A result beyond that limit is data, not a rating.
What is expressly outside
Slow-speed encroachment, slow-speed nudging and ramming, blast, ballistic impact, manual attack with a vehicle or with tools, electrical manipulation and any attack on the control system. Those need other methods and other evidence.
What to do next
Write the scope note for each barrier: the function, the threat vehicle, the site, the edition and the exclusions you are not claiming. Then run the free check. If the answer is unsure, the check returns scope incomplete and names the question.

Questions
Does a traffic barrier at a car park count?
Only if it is intended to stop a hostile vehicle. A boom gate that controls paying customers is not a VSB. A host of bollards protecting a pedestrian area may be.
Does the standard cover a moving vehicle?
It covers the impact of a test vehicle that is not driven by a human being. It does not cover the vehicle's approach, its driver or a multiple-impact attack.
What if the site needs blast protection too?
That is outside this standard. Keep the vehicle rating separate and use a blast standard for the blast claim. Do not let one rating stand for both.
