6. Overview Collaboration initiated in 2013 between the National Institute of Justice, the U.S. Army Program Executive Office - Soldier, and the National Institute of Standards and Technology Collaboration Goals: 1)Work together to harmonize body armor standards, where practical. 2)Help eliminate the duplication of effort, more effectively use resources, and reduce testing costs. 3)Provide the best protection possible for armor wearers using the combined knowledge and resources of federal agencies, law enforcement agencies, testing and certification bodies, and manufacturers. ASTM International selected as the standards development organization: Have previously developed body armor standards Provides a forum where all stakeholders can collaborate to develop common test methods, specifications, practices, and guides. 2
