A crash-rated bollard has been hit by a test vehicle at a set speed and the distance the vehicle got past it measured. Here are the ratings manufacturers publish, and the foundations those ratings depend on.

> A rating belongs to the tested product **on its tested foundation**. The same bollard in a shallower footing, at a wider spacing or in different soil is not rated. ASTM itself says site soils, terrain and climate can degrade performance.

## Vehicle-security ratings (ASTM F2656)

| Model (maker) | Body | Foundation | Rating |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| FB275/M30-1000 (ännt, Georgetown ON) | 273 mm steel, 16 mm wall, 1000 mm tall | Deep mount; rebar cage available | F2656-20 M30 P1; K4 |
| FB275/M50-1000 (ännt) | 273 mm steel, 23 mm wall, 1000 mm tall | Deep mount | F2656-20 M50 P2 |
| FXSF275K4 900 (ännt) | 273 mm, 900 mm tall | Shallow ground fitting, 200 mm deep, for 1–3 bollards at 1275 mm centres | M30 (K4), PAS 68, IWA 14-1 |
| FX150/C40-900 (ännt) | 168 mm galvanized, 900 mm tall | Not published | F2656-20 C40 P1 |
| Halvard M30 R-1030-M30 (Reliance Foundry, Surrey BC) | 10¾ in steel, 39¾ in tall, 755 lb | Concrete embedded | F2656-07 M30 P1 |
| Patriot R-1009-12 (Reliance Foundry) | 10¾ in steel, 39½ in tall | Concrete embedded | F2656 M50 P2 |
| Halvard C40 R-1040-C40 (Reliance Foundry) | 6⅝ in steel, 36 in tall, 185 lb | Concrete embedded | F2656-20 SC40 P1 |
| DSC600 modules (Delta Scientific) | Not published | 14 in deep | K12 (15,006 lb truck at 50.78 mph, 15 in penetration) |
| DSC650 modules (Delta Scientific) | Not published | 12 in deep | F2656-07 PU50 P1 |
| DSC635 (Delta Scientific) | 15.75 in with cover, 44 in tall | About 24 in, shallow | F2656-20 M50 P2 |
| G-1350 (Gibraltar) | Not published | Deep foundation | F2656-07 M50 P1 |

| G-1441 ultra-shallow (Gibraltar) | Not published | 5 in excavation, no rebar, 78 in front-to-back | F2656-15 M40 P1 |

## Low-speed impact ratings (ASTM F3016)

F3016 tests with a 5,000 lb surrogate vehicle at 10, 20 or 30 mph. It’s the rating for storefronts, patios and parking-lot edges, where the risk is a driver hitting the wrong pedal, not a deliberate attack.

| Model (maker) | Body | Foundation | Rating |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| CrashCore S10 (McCue) | 4 in steel core under a 6.63 in stainless or 5.25 in plastic cover, 40 in tall | 10 in diameter concrete pier, 42 in deep, core-drilled | F3016 S10 |
| CrashCore S20 (McCue) | As S10 | 10 in pier, 42 in deep | F3016 S20; PAS 68 and IWA 14 at 2,500 kg, 32 km/h |
| Halvard S10 R-1040-S10 (Reliance Foundry) | 6⅝ in steel, 36 in tall | Concrete embedded | F3016-19 S10 P1 |
| Vector S30 R-1010-S30 (Reliance Foundry) | 8³⁄₁₆ in max width, galvanized, 36 in tall | 42 in below grade | F3016 S30 P2 (1.97 ft penetration) |
| RFP 8660R (TrafficGuard) | 8.625 in powder-coated steel, 36 in tall | Embedded; depth not published | F3016 20 mph |
| G-1631F / R / D (Gibraltar) | Not published | 8 in fixed, 8.5 in removable, 54 in deployable | F3016-19 S30 P1 |
| GroundLock helical (Gibraltar) | Not published | Helical anchor, no concrete footing | F3016-19 S20 P2 (1.5 ft max penetration) |

## Portable and temporary

- **ättaGard (ännt):** 273 mm steel with concrete infill, about 350 kg, on an 800 × 924 mm base plate with no excavation. Rated ASTM PU30, PU40 and PU50.
- **TB100 (Delta Scientific):** cable-linked units, five spanning 20 ft, surface-placed. Rated ASTM M30/P3 as an array of five.

## Ask for this in every quote

- The **test report**, not just the rating: the standard and its year (F2656-07, -15 and -20 differ), the vehicle, speed and penetration.
- Whether the rating is **certified or engineer-rated**. Gibraltar marks some models as engineer-rated or extrapolated; they weren’t crashed in that configuration.
- The **foundation drawing** the rating depends on, and the spacing used in the test.
