Effective February 1, 2009, the United States Department of State (DOS) discontinued certifying Anti-Ram barriers under the Anti-Ram barrier standard, STD-02.01 Revision A dated March 2003. Beginning February 1, 2009, DOS evaluates new anti-ram barriers tested under the ASTM F2656 Standard Test Method for Vehicle Crash Testing of Perimeter Barriers for the selection and approval for use at DOS facilities. The only barriers considered will be those with an ASTM F2656 rating of M30 P1, M40 P1, and M50 P1. The Shield® is installed in a variety of high threat level facilities both nationally and abroad.
