A-SAFE and PAS 13
To raise global industrial safety standards, we ensure our products and specifications meet the independent guidelines in PAS 13.
PAS 13 Impact Protection Standard
At A‑SAFE, nothing is more important to us than safety. As well as being part of the steering group of global experts that brought PAS 13 to life, we also sponsored this formal code of practice.
By supporting the creation of PAS 13, we wanted to raise the bar for the entire safety industry, meaning we would also have to adhere to the guidelines in the document. While this requires us to continuously improve our products and how we test them, we know that it is ultimately for the best. It allows our customers and all users of compliant safety barriers to feel properly protected while on site.

We Test so You Can Buy With Confidence
All of our products are tested to destruction but we never promote a product based on this misleading figure, we always state a safe level based on multiple impacts.
Our standardized testing procedures, equipment, and every product we test, is certified by a highly reputable and internationally respected independent certifier, TÜV Nord.
PAS 13 Built Into Every Project
Every A-SAFE site survey is completed in line with PAS 13 best practices. Developed with global safety authorities, PAS 13 is the international code of practice for industrial safety barriers and traffic management.
Our experts are trained in PAS 13 methodology and apply it across every recommendation, including pedestrian and vehicle flow, crossing points, barrier selection and installation design. This means a safer, more efficient and compliant facility every time.
PAS 13 Resources
We offer a free advice and consultation service to help ensure your facility is PAS 13 compliant, and our experts are available to conduct a PAS 13 safety survey remotely or in person. We also provide a handy PAS 13 video series to explain each part of safety barrier testing best practice and traffic management guidance.
