Personal protective equipment requirements against bullets, stabbing and cutting violence
Through standardised and accredited testing of protective vests and helmets in our test bed, we help ensure that equipment used by personnel in organisations such as the Armed Forces and Police, as well as security guards, stewards, and protective service officers, meets recognised standards.
As an independent provider, we prioritise meeting your needs and ensuring your equipment meets the highest standards of safety and performance. In addition to standard testing, we offer consultancy services and the opportunity to conduct experimental tests during the development process. You are also welcome to observe the testing process.
