These new models are available for immediate purchase in concealable and tactical body armor configurations.
"NIJ Standard-0101.06 (NIJ .06) is one of the most stringent, demanding and comprehensive personal body armour standards ever initiated and mandated by the NIJ," said Ron Gburek, Chief Operating Officer for KDH. "We are pleased to receive these notices of compliance, the first of many anticipated certifications under the new NIJ .06 Standard that the Company believes it will be receiving in the coming months. KDH remains committed to providing our law enforcement officers and federal agents with the very best in life-saving ballistic protection while simultaneously allowing for comfort, mobility, functionality and operational performance."
KDH's new NIJ .06 body armour is eligible for US DOJ BVP (Bulletproof Vest Partnership Act) funding and is manufactured in accordance with ISO 9001:2008 standards. NIJ Standard-0101.06, Ballistic Resistance of Body Armour, is the latest evolution in standards by which law enforcement protective vests are measured and establishes minimum performance requirements and test methods for the ballistic resistance of personal body armour intended to protect against gunfire.
