Hesco Testing Protocol
NIJ Certification of hard armor needs submission of 10” x 12” test plates. These plates must show they can defeat specific rounds following a valid NIJ shot pattern after a strict conditioning process to mimic aging and wear. Level III requires six M80 rounds per plate. Level IV requires one AP M2 per plate. NIJ allows other same - construction torso plates of different sizes to be included in the Certification without more NIJ testing. Hesco sets a higher standard. It publishes the minimum number of shots each size plate can handle under similar NIJ testing, and lists many other threats not covered by NIJ Certification. Check the Threat Performance Matrix for the minimum shot numbers.
