For the shopping environment and cyclist convenience Eagles street furniture range can be used to create all manner of aesthetic and practical installations.
However, the prime function is security. Unlike the majority of bicycle racks, planters and railings on the UKs streets, Eagles Crash Tested Cycle Hoops have been rigorously tested to highest PAS68 standards, ensuring that it can act as a security barrier in the event of a vehicle-borne attack. Our Crash Tested Cycle Hoops stands up to the monumental forces of a full-on hostile collision without giving any ground whatsoever
As with all of our PAS68 and IWA14-1 products, Eagles Crash Tested Cycle Hoops are tested to the highest standards.
STANDARDS EXPLAINED
PAS68:2013
PAS68 is the best known Publicly Available Specification (PAS) for vehicle security barriers (VSB). In recent years it has been the UKs standard and the security industrys benchmark for HVM (Hostile Vehicle Mitigation) equipment. It is the specification against which perimeter security equipment is tested as part of the ongoing research to prevent VBIED (Vehicle Born Improvised Explosive Device) attacks. To be used in conjunction with PAS69:2013 (guidance for the selection, installation and use of vehicle security barriers).
IWA14-1:2013
International Workshop Agreement. A global standard prepared in conjunction with CPNI/BSI and with input from US Department of State. IWA14-1 combines and updates elements from PAS68, PAS69, ASTM F2656 and CWA16221. IWA14-1 specifies the essential impact performance requirement for a (VSB) and a tested method for rating its performance, when subject to a single impact by a test vehicle not being driven by a human being. To be used in conjunction with IWA14-2:2013 (guidance for the selection, installation and use of vehicle security barriers).
Example IWA14-1 classification:
V/7200(N2A)/80/90:1.0
V - Tested using the vehicle impact method
7200(N2A) - Tested with an impact from a 7,200kg N2A class vehicle
80 - Impact speed of 80kph (50mph)
90 - Impacted at 90 degrees to the front face of the VSB 1.0 - Where the vehicle reference point penetrated
1.0 meters beyond the original position of the front face of the equipment.
The diagram shows how penetration is measured by IWA14-1
