It's important to know the difference between these labels, because when it comes to accountability, genuine NIJ-certified protection is head and shoulders above certain brands that offer NIJ-compliant body armor. Why is that? What exactly does NIJ certification involve that makes it superior? We're diving into these questions today so that you can make the best choice when it comes to potentially life-saving body armor.
For the last 15 years in the US, ballistic threat ratings for non-military body armor were designated by the National Institute of Justice’s NIJ-STD 0101.06 ("STD" meaning "standard," in this case); but now that standard has been totally overhauled.
Whether you’re a body armor user, supplier, or tester, Bulletproof Zone has got the main takeaways of NIJ’s updated standard 0101.07 plus those of the new reference standard 0123.00.

There are many different items out there that you can use to provide protection in different ways. Read this blog to know some of them.
