How Do I Know What Protection Level I Need?

Ballistic protection standards differ around the world, and each standard indicates a different level of safety. This variety can be confusing, especially when levels are referred to using just numbers or letters without explaining what they specifically mean.

To make things clearer, Alpine Armoring has created ten distinct levels of ballistic protection. Each level matches up with widely recognized safety standards from international organizations including:

• CEN (European Committee for Standardization) – BR 1063
• NIJ (National Institute of Justice) – 0101.07/0123.00
• UL (Underwriters Laboratories) – Standards & Engagements 752
• STANAG (Standardization Agreement by NATO) – 4569 (which focuses on protection for occupants of vehicles used for logistics and light armor)

By aligning their protection levels with these standards, Alpine makes it easier for customers to understand the safety offered by each of their products without needing to navigate through complicated codes.
