Term of the Month - Body Armor [ [link removed] ]

Torso-worn body armor, commonly referred to as vests, helps protect law enforcement officers from weapons such as guns and knives. NIJ?s body armor standards provide minimum performance requirements for both ballistic and stab resistant vests, while the Compliance Testing Program allows manufacturers to submit their body armor products for testing to see if they meet the national standard.?

NIJ will be publishing a revision to the performance standards for ballistic resistant body armor later this month. The revision includes improved test methods for armor designed for women, additional test requirements for both soft and hard body armor, and several standardized procedures and test methods published by ASTM International. Subscribe [ [link removed] ] to be notified when these updated standards are released.?

"Each month, NIJ features a term from our scientific portfolios related to justice system issues and solutions, highlighting select NIJ reading and resources.?"?
