Czech standard (ČSN 39 5360)

It is the youngest standard for the classification and testing of ballistic protection devices, but also the most stringent international standard in terms of meeting the required parameters. According to this standard, a maximum trauma value of 25 mm is allowed, with no distinction as to whether the vest is worn concealed or unconcealed. Another parameter that is required is the maximum volume of the resulting impression, which is 8 ml. This volume corresponds to a maximum trauma depth of 2 mm.

NATO Standard (STANAG 2920)

STANAG 2920 (Ballistic test method for personal armour materials and combat clothing) is used to measure the ability of materials to stop shrapnel and shrapnel. This measurement technique was originally developed for body armour, but is now generally used in all situations where shrapnel is a primary concern.

Tests according to STANAG 2920 are performed by firing Fragment Simulating Projectiles (SSP) at the test specimen at different velocities, measuring the velocity of each projectile. By varying the velocities, an estimate of the ballistic limit, which is the speed at which a fragment will penetrate the material, can be obtained after several shots.

Combat units rarely suffer injury or death from missiles, but are at high risk of primary (direct) and secondary (environmental) fragmentation. They are reported in fragmentation levels F, the performance of which is measured by V50.

US standard (NIJ STD 0101.04)

This standard is the internationally recognised norm for the testing and classification of protective vests. It is characterized by six levels of durability, four for soft vests and two for vests with additional hard panels. The standard permits a maximal trauma effect of 44 mm without restrictions for concealed or outer vests. The volume of indentation in a plasticine block has not been defined.

US Standard (NIJ STD 0106.01)

Tato norma pochází z roku 1981 a je lehké si jí kvůli přesmyšce splést s normou pro testování měkkých a tvrdých balistických vest - NIJ 0101.06. Norma je dnes již zastaralá, což je důvod, proč se testuje "nad rámec" normy či se splňují rámce norem, které původně nejsou určené k testování balistickcýh přileb. I proto často můžete narazit například na spojení s normou STANAG 2920 měřící odolnost vůči fragmentům a střepinám nebo ve spojení s dříve zmíněnou normou NIJ 0101.06 či NIJ 0101.04.
