NIJ for Standard-0101.06 Body Armor
Protective Products Enterprises (PPE), a manufacturer and distributor of advanced ballistic protective products is one of the first companies to receive compliance status approval from the National Institute of Justice (NIJ) for a model within our new “DX Series” of body armor.
As of May 29th 2009, PPE’s model DX-IIA was found by the NIJ’s Voluntary Body Armor Compliance Testing Program to satisfy the requirements of the new NIJ Standard–0101.06 for level IIA protection. Our level II and IIIA models for this series have successively completed certification testing and are waiting administrative approval from NIJ.
