ASTM F3016 Crash Tested Bollard Purchase Checklist
- Request full-scale crash test summary from the bollard manufacturer that details actual test performance.
- Verify that the tests were conducted to the ASTM F3016 standard at an accredited testing facility. Beware of unverifiable “independent” tests.

- Require steel certifications from manufacturer to verify steel complies with what was actually tested.
