This Working Draft African Standard specifies requirements, test methods and sampling of bullet resistant fabrics intended to provide protection against bullets.
Note 1: The tests described in the standard have inherent hazards, hence adequate safety norms for personnel and property shall be employed strictly while conducting the tests.
Note 2: This standard does not cover the threats from knives and sharply pointed instruments. It does not also cover specific requirements in terms of protection area of the body, accepted weight penalty of the jackets, threat perception and operating conditions since these are dependent upon the user/purchaser
Textile fabrics (ICS code(s): 59.080.30)
