In April 2024, the National Institute of Justice (NIJ) plans to release a revised version of the current ballistic-resistant body armour standard. The NIJ Standard 0101.07 has been developed through an NIJ Special Technical Committee (STC) which includes criminal justice professionals and testing experts supported by NIJ and NIJ Compliance Testing Program staff. 

NIJ 0101.06 is a critical standard established by the National Institute of Justice (NIJ) to assess the ballistic resistance of body armor. This standard outlines specific testing protocols and performance criteria that body armor must meet, ensuring a reliable and standardized framework for assessing the effectiveness and safety of personal protection gear.

NIJ 0101.05

NIJ 0101.05 is another crucial standard developed by the National Institute of Justice (NIJ) to evaluate the ballistic resistance of body armor. It specifies rigorous testing requirements and performance criteria, providing a standardized framework for assessing the effectiveness and reliability of personal protection gear.

HOSBD

The Home Office Scientific Development Branch (HOSDB) sets stringent standards for body armor to ensure reliable protection for law enforcement and security professionals. Adhering to HOSDB standards guarantees that body armor meets specific criteria for ballistic resistance, ensuring the highest level of safety in demanding operational environments.

VPAM
