of the standard and can serve as the basis for tests conducted by qualified testing laboratories and as a reference in procurement
documents. It also contains definitions to help readers use and understand the information and provides field testing procedures
for and mechanical drawings of several potentially dangerous test objects. This Standard supersedes NIJ Standard–0601.01 published
