Hesco Testing Protocol
NIJ Certification for hard armor needs 10” x 12” test plates to defeat specific rounds as per a valid NIJ shot pattern after a strict conditioning test. Level III requires six M80 rounds per plate, and Level IV needs one AP M2 per plate. Other size torso plates of the same construction can be included in the Certification without extra NIJ testing. Hesco goes further by showing the minimum shots each plate size can handle and listing more threats not in the NIJ process, as seen in the Threat Performance Matrix.
Manufacturing Tolerances:
Thickness is ± 1/8 in (± 3 mm). Width and length are +0.00 to - 0.25 in (+0.00 to - 6 mm). All weights are ± 5%.
