70B06C23R00000004 – Body Armor

Questions and Answers – Amendment 3:

1. If a model suffers a failure at any point in the testing process, can the same model be re-submitted for a new test series? Yes, however a new complete test group would have to be submitted (no different than if a manufacturer was submitting a different ballistic model.) The entire complete testing protocol would need to be competed.

2. If a model is re-submitted, can samples that were previously tumbled as contingencies with the failed submission, be used for conditioned samples without undergoing another round of tumbling? No, not if the panels had already been tumbled. Or, do we need to start completely from scratch, and tumble the new submission (even if it is the same exact makeup/NIJ model that previously failed)? The entire complete testing protocol would need to be competed.
