abstract="ASTM Committee F12 on Security Systems and Equipment is developing a new standard for land-based crash barriers in response to the need for increased safety and security against terrorist attacks. The Committee has identified the need for a standard to evaluate and test barriers to protect water-side facilities from intrusion. Subcommittee F12.10 on Systems, Products and Services, the group responsible for the new standard, has proposed a performance-based testing criteria based on threat-vessel kinetic energy and attack penetration distance. The committee has emphasized on the requirement of a multiple performance level document to meet the needs of a wide variety of facilities, each requiring its own level of protection.   <p>Language: en</p>  <p><a href=&quot;http://www.astm.org/SNEWS/AUGUST_2006/bulmcg_aug06.html&quot;>http://www.astm.org/SNEWS/AUGUST_2006/bulmcg_aug06.html</a></p>",
