A QUALITY SYSTEM FOR LIFE SAFETY EQUIPMENT
[01]
Registered & Accredited
Our manufacturing is registered to ISO 9001:2015 and BA 9000:2016, the body-armor-specific standard developed for the U.S. National Institute of Justice, audited and issued by Perry Johnson Registrars under ANAB accreditation.
[02]
Full Traceability
BA 9000 is not a generic management standard. It governs material traceability, ballistic test protocols, lot-release controls, and the full documentation chain required to supply law-enforcement and military end-users.
[03]
Audited Every Order
Every order ships under a documented, audited, and continuously surveilled system. Lot-level records and third-party oversight follow each shipment from raw material to final inspection. No exceptions.

Scope
+
We don’t test our own armor. Independent labs do.
02 / Independent Testing
Ballistic claims have to be verifiable. We partner with NTS-accredited laboratories operating under U.S. Department of Justice protocols — the same facilities that qualify armor for federal procurement.
Element U.S. Space & Defense
Lab Partner · United States
NTS-accredited ballistic test laboratory. Conducts NIJ-protocol live-fire qualification of our hard armor plates and soft armor panels under witnessed, chain-of-custody conditions.
Energetic Test Lab
Lab Partner · United States
Independent ballistic and materials testing facility. Validates multi-hit performance, V50 ballistic limits, and back-face deformation across our plate and helmet product lines.
