The requirement for stab proof clothing is becoming ever more apparent, not only in professional settings like policing and protection services but also in the average person’s daily life. The spike is only tested at E1, and is not allowed to penetrate at all. The knife blade is tested against both E1 and E2 pressure with a 7 and 20mm penetration limit. The same applies here for the strength of the blade.įor HOSDB you can either complete a knife test (KR) or spike test (SP). So, body armour tested according to HOSDB can be called KR or KR+SP. It is 100 mm long and the tip is 4.5 mm long and 2 mm wide. Engineered spike (SP / B) is a pointed instrument (spike).Engineered blade (P1 / B) is a knife that can hold its shape after being stabbed into a wooden block multiple times.The E1 pressure cannot exceed more than 7 mm and the E2 pressure is 20mm. The same rules apply for the penetration limit (only for the P1/B blade). Both the NIJ and HOSDB have been working together for many years, to improve and develop their standards. It is very similar to the NIJ standards and the ideas behind both are the same. The HOSDB (British Institute) also has their own benchmark for stab resistant body armour.

The E2 drop is made to ensure that the stab proof vest won’t fail with full penetration when increasing the striking force.
Stab proof body armour testing and protection levels For example, a bullet proof vest is not certified to stop knives penetrating , and, a stab proof vest is not certified to stop any sort of small arms though it may still offer a reasonable level of protection. It is important to understand that a bullet proof vest is ONLY certified to stop the threats it is designed and specifically tested for. NIJ and HOSDB often work together on the same test methods of bullet and stab proof vests, and they use 2-3 standards that include the following: These are the "standards" that are generally used for bullet proof and stab proof vests. There are several levels of protection from country to country, but the two most frequently used and recognised for bullet proof vests and stab proof vests are the US National Institute of Justice (NIJ) and the UK Home Office Scientific Development Branch (HOSDB). Using stab protective clothing could make a significant difference to your survival chances should you, for example, be attacked by someone wielding a knife, which is why it is important to always protect yourself. All of our anti stab protective body armour is rated as KR 1 and SP 1 this means that our stab resistant clothing offers the individual additional potentially lifesaving protection for the body that it otherwise could not rely on. Stab resistant PPE, however, offers a high-level of resistance to penetration and puncturing from edged weapons such as knives and other sharp objects such as spikes, screwdrivers, tools or broken bottles. Whilst “stab proof clothing” is frequently searched for on the internet by those looking to protect themselves against knife crime, stab resistant clothing is ultimately the correct terminology, and it is important to point out that all body armour has the potential to be pierced if confronted by a powerful enough weapon. Our range of anti-stab PPE clothing are plain, unnoticeable and thin enough to wear under your clothes to avoid drawing attention to the wearer. At Bladerunner we offer a range of stab resistant clothing options that have been designed specifically to offer the highest form of stab protection whilst remaining as discrete as possible.
