Hesco Testing Protocol
NIJ hard - armor certification needs 10” x 12” test plates to defeat specific rounds following a strict conditioning process. Level III requires six M80 rounds per plate, and Level IV requires one AP M2 per plate. Other same - construction torso plates are covered by the certification without extra NIJ testing.
Hesco sets a higher bar by sharing the minimum shots each plate size can handle and listing more threats not in the NIJ process. Check the Threat Performance Matrix for details.

Using these Hesco ballistic plates is straightforward. Just insert them into your compatible body armor carrier. Make sure they fit snugly to ensure maximum protection. When you're done using them, take them out of the carrier and store them in a cool, dry place. Avoid exposing them to extreme heat, cold, or moisture. As for maintenance, simply wipe them down with a dry cloth regularly. Check them for any signs of damage like cracks or chips. If you notice any issues, don't use the plates and contact Hesco for further advice. Keep in mind that these plates are made to order, so it'll take 8 - 12 weeks to get them. And always follow any local laws and regulations regarding the use of ballistic plates.
