Open the registerWhat 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.
Last updated: . Written from the public record and the published base standard. Not legal advice; does not certify.
The article and the installation
The report has to describe the barrier and the foundation that were tested, with drawings, so that the tested article can be recognised on site. Clause 5.2 makes conformity between the tested article and its documentation a condition of the rating.
The vehicle and the conditions
The report has to identify the vehicle, its class, its mass and its condition, and state the speed, the angle and the geometry. Those are the conditions that make the rating comparable with a site.
The results and the outcome
The report has to record the penetration, the debris and what happened to the vehicle. The clause 4 outcome is one of three: stopped at the line, redirected to the unprotected side, or halted beyond the line and unable to drive on.
What a summary is not
A summary, a certificate or a one-line rating is not the report. It can be a cover sheet, but the buyer needs the report, the drawings and the raw measurement record to defend the rating.

Questions
Does the report have to be public?
No. It is a commercial document. The buyer should hold it, and the assurance statement should say what can be shared with a customer or an insurer.
How long should it be?
There is no page count. A full report with drawings, calibration records and measurement sheets is normal. A two-page certificate is not a report.
Can I accept a foreign test report?
Check the edition, the test house, the vehicle class and the foundation. A report to another standard or edition is not an ISO 22343-1 report, and a translation should be checked against the original.
