Do RAYSAN polymer barriers meet international safety standards?
In the logistics industry, there is no room for compromise when it comes to safety. That's why more and more companies are asking me: do RAYSAN protective barriers meet international standards, and can they be trusted in high-collision risk environments? The answer is: yes—and not just in theory.
🔧 What do "international safety standards" mean in the context of barriers? Industrial barriers must pass rigorous tests that evaluate:
- impact resistance (kinetic energy),
- material flexibility,
- durability in industrial conditions,
- the ability to safely deform and return to their original shape,
- compliance with standards such as EN 15512, EN 15635, or PAS 13 (a BSI specification promoted by the HSE in the UK).
🛡️ What does RAYSAN offer?
➡️ RAYSAN barriers are certified and lab-tested in accordance with applicable standards for protective barriers used in industry and logistics. ➡️ The polymer material demonstrates the ability to absorb energy without transferring the force of the impact to the floor or infrastructure. ➡️ RAYSAN systems are designed based on real-world collision scenarios—taking into account the mass, speed, and angle of the forklift's impact. ➡️ Compared to steel barriers, polymer solutions minimize repair costs after collisions and shorten operational downtime.
🌍 Where are they already used?
RAYSAN barriers are operational in distribution centers worldwide—from Europe to South America. In Poland, they are present in e-commerce, automotive, and FMCG warehouses, where safety requirements are particularly stringent.
🧩 What about compatibility?
RAYSAN offers modular systems—barriers can be adapted to existing infrastructure, and if needed, only a damaged component can be quickly replaced. This is a significant advantage in dynamic facilities.
If you are planning to upgrade your warehouse safety features and are looking for a more affordable, yet equally effective, alternative to well-known brands, it's worth checking out RAYSAN.
