SAFETY ACT CERTIFIED PRODUCTS
SAFETY Certified at the Highest Level
The SAFETY Act certification places Delta Scientific’s active and passive anti-ram barriers on the “Approved Product” list for Homeland Security.
When security is on the line, recognition matters. That’s why Delta Scientific’s active and passive barriers now hold the Red Seal of Certification, DHS’s highest honor under the Support Anti-terrorism by Fostering Effective Technology (SAFETY) Act.
Officially listed on the Approved Products List for Homeland Security through 2031, our technologies are proven, trusted, and approved by the federal government.
What Is the SAFETY Act?
The SAFETY Act was created to encourage the development of technologies that protect people and property from terrorism. By limiting liability in the event of an act of terrorism, it ensures manufacturers and customers are not deterred from deploying effective solutions.
Levels of Protection Under the SAFETY Act
- Certification (Red Seal): Includes all Designation benefits plus the powerful Government Contractor Defense in a lawsuit.
- Designation (Blue Seal): Caps liability and blocks punitive or non-economic damages.
- Developmental Testing & Evaluation (Green Seal): Offers coverage for products in testing phases.
Delta Scientific is proud to hold the Red Seal, reflecting the proven, repeatable effectiveness of our technologies, and placing us above competitors that may only carry Designation.
Why SAFETY Certification Matters
While both Designation and Certification under the SAFETY Act provide valuable legal protections, there is a clear distinction between the two. Designation limits liability, but Certification goes a step further—it represents DHS’s highest level of confidence in a technology’s proven performance.
For customers and partners, this difference translates into:
- Broader protections: The Government Contractor Defense means lawsuits are redirected away from customers and handled as if the federal government itself were the defendant.
- Federal recognition of reliability: DHS has confirmed Delta’s products perform as intended and are safe for use.
Proven record: Certification requires consistent, repeatable effectiveness in real-world and government testing.

“K” indicates the DOS certified barrier speed ratings’ maximum vehicle impact speed achieved when a vehicle traveling at a nominal speed is successfully arrested by the barrier from a perpendicular direction. e.g., K12 = 50mph (80kph), K8 = 40mph (65kph), K4 = 30mph (48kph). “M” indicates the Tested Vehicle (Medium-Duty Truck weighing 15,000 lbs.) successfully arrested by the barrier. e.g., M50 = 50mph (80kph), M40 = 40mph (65kph), M30 = 30mph (48kph). | ||
