PURPOSE
AND SCOPE
The purpose of this standard is to establish minimum performance
requirements and methods of test for the ballistic resistance
of police body armor intended to protect the torso against
gunfire. This standard is a revision of NIJ Standard-0101.02,
dated March 1985, clarifying the labeling requirements,
acceptance criteria, and backface signature measurement
procedure. The scope of the standard is limited to ballistic
resistance only; the standard does not address threats from
knives and sharply pointed instruments, which are different
types of threat. In addition, the standard does not address
armor that incorporates inserts, or variations in construction
of the ballistic panel over small areas of the torso, for
the purposes of increasing the basic level of protection
of the armor (whether ballistic or blunt trauma) on localized
areas.

PURPOSE AND SCOPE
Ballistic Resistance of Body Armor NIJ Standard-0101.06 establishes minimum performance requirements and test methods for the ballistic resistance of personal body armor designed to protect the torso against gunfire. The standard is limited to ballistic resistance only and does not address resistance from knives or other sharply pointed objects. It reviews NIJ body armor classifications, details requirements (e.g., acceptance criteria, workmanship and armor backing material), and discusses test methods (e.g., velocity measurement equipment, wet conditioning and test preparation.).
This standard supersedes NIJ 2005 Interim Requirements, Ballistic Resistance of Body Armor (August 2005) and also supersedes NIJ Standard-0101.04 Rev. A, Ballistic Resistance of Personal Body Armor (June 2001).

PURPOSE AND SCOPE
The purpose of this standard is to establish minimum
performance requirements and methods of
test for ballistic resistant protective materials. This standard
supersedes NIJ Standard-0108.00, Ballistic
Resistant Protective Materials, dated December 1981. This revision
adds threat level III-A and
establishes threat level classifications that are consistent
with other NIJ standards for ballistic
protection.
This standard is applicable to all ballistic
resistant materials (armor) intended to provide protection
against gunfire, with the exception of police body armor and
ballistic helmets, which are the topic of
individual NIJ performance standards [1,2]1. Many different
types of armor are now available that
range in ballistic resistance from those designed to protect
against small-caliber handguns to those
designed to protect against high-powered rifles. Ballistic
resistant materials are used to fabricate
portable ballistic shields, such as a ballistic clipboard for
use by a police officer; to provide ballistic
protection for fixed structures such as critical control rooms
or guard stations; and to provide ballistic
protection for the occupants of vehicles. The ballistic resistant
materials used to fabricate armor
include metals, ceramics, transparent glazing, fabric, and
fabric-reinforced plastics; they are used
separately or in combination, depending upon the intended threat
protection.

PURPOSE AND SCOPE
1. SCOPE
1.1 Purpose. The purpose of this standard is to provide general guidelines for
procedures, equipment, physical conditions, and terminology for determining the ballistic
resistance of metallic, nonmetallic and composite armor against small arms projectiles.
The ballistic test procedure described in this standard determines the V50 ballistic limit of
armor.
1.2 Application. This test method standard is intended for use in ballistic
acceptance testing of armor and for the research and development of new armor
materials. This ballistic test method is applicable to the following types of armor:
a. Body armor.
b. Armored seats for aircraft and ground vehicles.
c. Crew station armor for military aircraft.
d. Internal and external armor for aircraft.
e. Transparent armor, such as windows, windshields and vision blocks for
aircraft and ground vehicles.
f. Bulkhead armor for shipboard use.
g. Structural or integral armor for use on ship exteriors.
h. Armor for military tactical shelters (AFWAL-TR-82-4163).
i. Visors for eye and face protection.
j. Armor for potential space applications.
k. Armor for light and heavy combat vehicles and structures.

PURPOSE AND SCOPE
This AEP describes the system qualification and acceptance procedure for determining the Protection Level of logistic and light armoured vehicles (LAV) for KE and artillery threats. The threats to be considered are small and medium caliber kinetic energy (KE) ballistic projectiles and fragment simulating penetrators (FSP) representing artillery shell fragments, as defined in STANAG 4569 Annex A (summarised in Annex A of the AEP-55).
This process includes standard techniques and reproducible test procedures for evaluating the ballistic resistance of vehicle armour components (integral, add-on, opaque and transparent) as well as the required vehicle Vulnerable Area assessment.

PURPOSE AND SCOPE
The purpose of this standard is to establish minimum performance
requirements and methods of test for the stab resistance of
personal body armor intended to protect the torso against slash
and stab threats. This standard is based on technical work performed
by many organizations: in the United Kingdom by the Police Scientific
Development Branch, and in the United States by the National
Institute of Standards and Technology and its subcontractors.
The scope of the standard is limited to stab resistance only.
The standard does not address ballistic threats, as those are
covered by NIJ Standard–0101.04, Ballistic Resistance
of Personal Body Armor. The standard does not directly address
slash threats; however, testing has shown that stab threats
are by far the more difficult to defeat, and that body armor
capable of defeating stab threats will perform satisfactorily
against slash threats.
