Your Guide to BSi

Manufacturer’s literature may not tell the whole story.

Unlike the BSi PAS 68 impact test at the beginning of this booklet, not all BSi PAS 68 testing is successful. However manufacturers may still state that the equipment has been impact tested to BSi PAS 68, even if the product has not successfully surpassed the specification.

Ensure that the manufacturer states “successfully impact tested” on their literature, or request the impact test’s Classification Code. Click here for more on Classification Codes. The penetration distance of the vehicle should be paramount.

The CPNI provides a list of all approved BSi PAS 68 impact tested products. This is a controlled document which CPNI provide on request to recognised bodies. Please visit the glossary for more information.
