NIJ 0115.00 Standard Test for Stabbing Resistance of Body Armor

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of NIJ 0115.00 test. NIJ Standard-0115.00 is known as the "Stab Resistance of Personal Body Armor" created by the Office of Law Enforcement Standards (OLES) at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). The Police Scientific Development Branch (PSDB) in the United Kingdom (UK) has contributed to testing puncture resistant armor to become an inclusive standard both nationally and internationally.

NIJ 0115.00 Standard Test for Stabbing Resistance of Body Armor

The purpose of this standard is to establish an international regulation for law enforcement (LEO) and enforcement officers. Similar to the ballistic threat standards described in NIJ Standard 0101.06, the puncture resistant standard guides officers to improve their overall safety at work.

The main idea behind NIJ standard 0115.00 and its 3 levels of stab resistance is based on a PSDB study that tested how hard the average man can hit using different "knife" methods.

NIJ standard 0115.00 was made as the minimum requirement for body armor focused on knives and spikes you may be exposed to at work. Particular attention is paid to the fact that a vest tested to NIJ standard 0115.00 must be able to stop. In addition, the NIJ has chosen to use the same testing method for the pointed tip as for the blade, which is different for the HOSDB standard from the UK.
