Internationally tested. Globally trusted.
ArmorNEX flexible stab-resistant products are tested to meet or exceed major international standards. Our certification portfolio ensures compliance across North America, Europe, Asia, and beyond.
Important Notice: All products are tested by accredited third-party laboratories. Certification documents are available upon request for qualified buyers.
Comprehensive testing across major global certification bodies
National Institute of Justice (USA)
The U.S. standard for stab-resistant body armor, defining three protection levels based on impact energy and penetration depth.
Ministry of Public Security (China)
Chinese public security standard for stab-resistant clothing, widely adopted across Asia-Pacific markets.
Association of Testing and Certification Bodies (Germany)
German certification for knife and stabbing weapon resistance, recognized throughout the European Union.
International Organization for Standardization
International standard specifying requirements and test methods for protective clothing against knives and stabbing weapons.
Understanding what "real" protection means
Many products claim "stab-resistant" but only protect against knives. True protection must stop ALL sharp threats.
Most "stab-resistant" products stop knife threats
Sharper, more penetrating — can defeat knife-only protection!
Ultra-sharp threats that bypass many protective materials
ArmorNEX products are tested against:
"Protection against spikes and needles = TRUE stab resistance"
EN388 is a glove standard, not a stab resistance standard. Using it to evaluate body armor is like using a running shoe standard to evaluate bulletproof vests.
For stab-resistant clothing, verify compliance with:
Rigorous third-party validation at every stage
Raw materials tested for tensile strength, tear resistance, and baseline stab resistance before production.
Completed protective panels undergo impact testing at multiple points to ensure consistent protection.
Final garments tested in accredited laboratories to verify compliance with target standards.
Random samples from production batches undergo periodic re-testing to maintain quality consistency.
Our proprietary flexible armor technology is inspired by the natural structure of pangolin scales, combining strength with flexibility:
Recipient of the 2022 National Science and Technology Progress Award — recognition for breakthrough innovation in flexible armor technology.
