If a manufacturer offers to sell us a model that complies with NIJ Standard-0101.03, should we purchase it?
Answer:
If you determine that this model meets all of your protection and user defined requirements, then there is no reason not to purchase it. NIJ Standard-0101.03 compliant armor should not be considered inadequate or obsolete; it is simply armor that has not been tested and found compliant to NIJ Standard-0101.04's different requirements.
