HESCO TESTING PROTOCOL NIJ Certification of hard armor requires submission of 10” x 12” test plates which must demonstrate the ability to defeat specific rounds tested to a valid NIJ shot pattern, after exposure to a stringent conditioning protocol to simulate aging and wear. Hesco holds itself to a higher standard by publishing the minimum number of shots that each size plate can be expected to defeat under similar NIJ testing methods, as well as listing many additional threats not addressed under the NIJ Certification process. The minimum number of shots are shown in the Threat Performance Matrix at left. Hesco engineers utilize various NIJ-valid shot patterns based on specific product goals such as minimizing plate weight and thickness, plate shape, or meeting end-user specifications. Before conducting independent testing, contact Hesco for specific shot pattern information. Product Downloads Threat Matrix Spec Sheet Size Guide
