What is The Difference Between the US Bulletproof Standards NIJ 0101.06 and NIJ0101.04?

06-07-2023

      NIJ 0101.06 is the latest version of the bulletproof standard jointly proposed and put into use by the American Judicial Society and the Law Enforcement Standards Office of the National Institute of Standards and Technology. This standard is specifically designed for the bulletproof ability of bulletproof vests and bulletproof inserts, and does not involve the defense ability of sharp weapons such as knives and knives to cut and stab. This standard is also the most widely used bulletproof standard in the world.

      NIJ 0101.06 was proposed in 2008 and replaced the NIJ 0101.04 standard released in 2001 and the 2005 NIJ interim standard.

      Compared to the previous bulletproof standard NIJ 0101.06, it puts forward higher requirements on bulletproof standards. Mainly reflected in three aspects:

      1. Higher defense capabilities have been proposed for various levels of threats.

      2. More stringent testing standards have been proposed for bulletproof testing.

     3. More emphasis on protective ability when facing multiple shots.

     4. Higher requirements have been put forward for the shelf life and durability of bulletproof equipment.

     The changes in some bullet speeds required by the new standard are shown in the table below:

     Secondly, there have been corresponding changes in the position standards for shooting:

NIJ0101.04

      The above is a general introduction to the differences between NIJ0101.06 and NIJ 0101.04. Compared with the old standard, the 0101.06 standard is more scientific and can keep up with the trend that powerful bullets such as rifle Armour-piercing ammunition are used more and more widely.

     However, in order to save costs, some organizations or regions still choose to use the 0101.04 standard when purchasing bulletproof equipment

     H Win focuses on the research and production of bulletproof products, providing high-quality NIJ III PE multi curved bulletproof inserts, NIJ IIIA PE bulletproof vests, stab proof suits, bulletproof and stab proof double suits, and NIJ IIIA bulletproof helmets, among others.
