This standard specifies minimum performance requirements and test methods for stab resistant body armor intended to protect against stab (i.e edged blade and spike) threats for U.Scriminal justice personnelThe test methods within this standard were developed and validated for broadly available armor designs.

The NIJ Standards for Personal Body Armor (Ballistic and Stab Puncture Resistant) establish minimum performance requirements to evaluate specific designs, or 'models' of armorThe standard is not intended to be a design specification, which would require manufacturers to use a specific type of material and or design pattern to achieve a

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.

Stab resistant body armour had been used throughout history, with examples ranging from animal hide construction to the moulded Polycarbonate units typically used by United Kingdom (UK) Police OfficersSuch protective articles have historically, and continue to present a number of issues which have shown to impair the operational performance of its wearer including but not exclusive to poor

The stab resistant clothing coupled with the reduced wearing burden could provide effective protection and avoid fatal injuries on security personnel working in dangerous environments.

DescriptionThe purpose of this standard is to establish minimum performance requirements and test methods for the ballistic resistance of personal body armor intended to protect against gunfireThe scope of the standard is limited to ballistic resistance only this standard does not address threats from knives and sharply pointed instruments
