The National Institute of Justice (NIJ) is the research, development, and evaluation agency of the U.S. Department of Justice. It establishes and updates voluntary minimum performance standards for body armor, conducts testing against these standards to ensure that body armor complies with the standards, and sponsors research to improve body armor. NIJ throughout the years has established several testing protocols and standards dating back to the early 1970s. The NIJ 0101.06 standard covers personnel soft body armor as well as hard rifle armor and is currently the most rigorous body armor testing standard. Recognition and acceptance of the NIJ standards have grown worldwide, making it the performance benchmark for ballistic-resistant body armor.
While it is not mandatory for any manufacturer to participate in the NIJ CTP; we believe this sets us apart from most manufacturers in the industry. You can rest assured when making a purchase of an NIJ CPL (Compliant Product Listed) model that the manufacturer has undergone a very rigorous test protocol to achieve this distinguished mark.
