HVM, decoded.

Hostile vehicle mitigation specifications are full of acronyms — PAS 68, IWA 14-1, ASTM F2656, ISO 22343 — and the differences between them decide whether a barrier genuinely stops a hostile vehicle or simply looks the part. This library exists to make those standards readable for the people who actually write and respond to specifications: security consultants, facilities managers, architects, and council and government teams across New Zealand and Australia.

Each guide is built from primary reference material — CISA's hostile vehicle mitigation guidance, the UK National Protective Security Authority's crowded-places work, the PSSA's HVM Hub, and TiSO's published standard guides — and every product referenced is crash-test certified and supplied by Access X Oceania. Start with the fundamentals guide if HVM is new to your project, then read the standard your brief cites. When you're ready to scope a real site, the assessment form on our main page gets you a spacing and rating recommendation from our HVM team.
