Green Gate Access Systems are delighted to announce that they will be introducing the new O&O K12 anti-terrorism bollard, named ‘The Oak’, to the market, following its UK crash testing and approval by MIRA. Italy based O&O’s CEO, Stefano Valzania, flew into the UK last week to collect the K12’s certificate of conformity and in addition, meet Green Gate Access System’s Managing Director, Neil Sampson, to discuss the newly authorised product, which is the most cost effective K12 rated bollard in the European market.
In the UK, the Centre for Protection of National Infrastructure (CNPI) has been leading the Government’s initiative in all aspects of counter-terrorism protective security in conjunction with BSI. These specifications are now widely used throughout UK, Europe, India, the Middle East and other parts of the world, to specify the type of barrier required against a particular type of threat. The revised K12 standard is now the result of an amalgamation of five different previous standards of global approval and at the new 1.2 metres high (as opposed to the older version standing at 0.8 metres high), is considered the safest anti-terrorism bollard in the world.
