S. ARMOR NIJ 0101.06 certified, the latest standard, ballistic vests and ballistic plates to Taiwan customers. The introduced U. S.

Different ballistic materials such as DuPont Kelvar, Honeywell Gold Flex and Spectra Shield II are chosen and used in order to further enhance the ballistic capability and wearing comfort. Advanced Core Matrix fiber technology, six-point elastic VELCRO closure system and removable strap system make the wear of the ballistic vests more convenient and comfortable. There are many options for trauma plates, including Enhanced Ballistic Plates (IIIA), Flexible Soft Ballistic (non-rated), Flexible Soft Ballistic (Level IIIA), Steel Trauma Plate, AP Handgun Steel Trauma Plate (TOKAREV/MAKAROV) and Titanium Blade (TB3).

Vest carriers with Outlast fiber technology, which is also used by NASA to provide a cooling effect, are also available.

Compared to the previous 0101.04 standard, NIJ 0101.06 requires more samples to be submitted for testing and the samples are tested with higher shooting velocities. Besides testing new samples, part of the submitted samples will be placed under water for a specified period of time and gone through the tumbling procedure before the shooting test. These additional procedures aim to simulate the situations of used vests and possibly environmental conditions in the real-life. Two tables are presented to compare between NIJ 0101.04 and NIJ 0101.06 ballistic standards at the bottom of the press release.
