Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

ASTM F2766-11 is the standard test method for boat barriers. It defines four performance levels based on kinetic energy absorbed. Level B (~407 kJ) is the most common minimum for high-security sites. Level C (~813 kJ) covers heavier, faster threats.

The DMS 1200 achieved ASTM Level C+ performance. The recorded kinetic energy was 903 kJ. This exceeded both the Level B target (407 kJ) and the Level C threshold (813 kJ). The test aimed for Level B – the DMS 1200 more than doubled it.

The test was independently witnessed by SGS Gulf Limited (Order 400113258) and TUV Austria INE Services KSA (Report INE-107839-INE-IR-00-R1). Both are internationally recognised third-party inspection bodies. Both issued separate witness reports confirming the same results.

The test was conducted on 29 January 2026 at King Salman Bay Lagoon, South Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. The site had a water depth of 3-4 metres. Conditions met all ASTM F2766-11 requirements – wave height below 0.5 m, current below 0.1 m/s, wind below 5 knots.
