Hesco Testing Protocol
NIJ Certification of hard armor needs 10” x 12” test plates to show they can defeat specific rounds in a valid NIJ shot pattern after strict conditioning. Level III needs six M80 rounds per plate. Level IV needs one AP M2 per plate. NIJ allows other identically - constructed torso plates to be included in the Certification without further testing.
Hesco sets a higher bar by publishing the minimum shots each size plate can handle under NIJ - like testing and listing extra threats not covered by NIJ Certification. Check the Threat Performance Matrix for the minimum number of shots.
