The Access X doctrine

HVM is not a
product. It's a
specification.

HVM — hostile vehicle mitigation — is the discipline of stopping vehicle-borne threats before they reach people and places. Done properly, it starts with a threat assessment and ends with a certified barrier, not a catalogue guess.

01

Hostile is not accidental

An accidental impact is a driver losing control at 30 km/h. A hostile attack is a 7.2-tonne truck aimed at your crowd at 80. Different physics, different standards, different products. We help you scope the real threat so you don't over-spend — or under-protect.

02

Certified, not estimated

Every rating we quote comes from an instrumented physical crash test with a published report. Many products on the market are merely 'engineered to resist' — calculated, not proven. With engineers and specifiers, we only trade in certified performance.

03

One size fits no one

Foundation depth, span, duty cycle, aesthetics, excavation limits — every site is different. That's why we carry 70+ product lines from five leading brands: TiSO, Automatic Systems, AccessX Fencing, HySecurity | Nice and ARX Security. If a single product range could solve it, we'd only sell one.

04

Specified, not sold

HVM doesn't belong in a shopping cart. Every project starts with a scoping conversation — site type, run length, threat level, standard required — so the barrier you sign off is the barrier your risk assessment actually demands.

Standards & certification

Four standards.
One language: proof.

Specifications in New Zealand and Australia cite a mix of international crash-test standards. Here's what each one actually certifies — and why the difference matters when you sign off a barrier.

ISO 22343-1

2023Current

The current global benchmark

Introduced September 2023, ISO 22343 is now the international standard for vehicle security barriers — officially replacing PAS 68 and IWA 14-1. The reference point for new specifications across Oceania.

V/7200[N2A]/80/90:2.5/30.8

BSI PAS 68

2013Superseded

Replaced by ISO 22343

The pioneering UK crash-test standard — officially replaced by ISO 22343. Still cited across thousands of existing specifications, and certificates earned under PAS 68 remain valid evidence of performance.

V/7500(N3)/80/90:0.0/0.0

Read the full guide

IWA 14-1

2013Superseded

Replaced by ISO 22343

ISO's interim international agreement bridged PAS 68 and US test methods — now replaced by ISO 22343, which carries forward its vehicle classes (N3C rigid truck) and test discipline.

V/7200[N3C]/80/90:0.0

ASTM F2656

USCurrent

The American standard — current

The US State Department lineage: M30 / M40 / M50 speed classes (30–50 mph for a 6.8t truck) with P1–P4 penetration ratings. Still the active US standard — common on US-engineered products like HySecurity StrongArm and HydraWedge.

M50-P1 (6.8t @ 80 km/h, <1 m)

Read the full guide

Standards changeover: BSI PAS 68 and IWA 14-1 were officially replaced by ISO 22343 in September 2023. Certificates issued under the older standards remain valid proof of performance — the Access X guide below covers the full changeover in detail.

Test method

Vehicle impact test — a real, instrumented crash test with an actual vehicle. Not a simulation, not a calculation.

The arsenal — cross-referenced

One threat.
70+ ways to stop it.

Foundation depth, clear span, certified rating, duty cycle — the cross-reference exercise we run on every project, turned into a single view. A selection of the range below; the full catalogue runs to 70+ product lines.

Questions specifiers ask

HVM, answered.

HVM is the use of physical security measures — bollards, road blockers, wedge barriers, crash-rated fencing and barrier arms — to stop vehicle-borne threats before they reach people, crowded places or critical infrastructure. A proper HVM solution starts with a threat assessment and ends with a crash-test-certified barrier, not a catalogue guess.

site assessment.

Tell us the site type, the run you need to protect, and the standard your brief demands — or tell us you don't know yet. Either way, you'll get a spacing and rating recommendation from people who do this every day.

What you get back

  • Product shortlist matched to your threat level
  • Spacing & foundation-depth recommendation
