Description of ASTM-E3347/E3347M 2024

ASTM E3347/E3347M-24

Redline Standard: Standard Specification for Ballistic-Resistant Shields Used by Law Enforcement Officers




ASTM E3347/E3347M

Scope

1.1 This standard specifies minimum performance requirements and test methods for the ballistic resistance of shields used by U.S. law enforcement officers to protect against handgun and rifle ammunition.

1.1.1 The option for testing either handgun-rated or rifle-rated shields with a shotgun threat is included in Appendix X3.

Note 1: Shields rated as “shotgun only” are not typically produced in the industry because they are not used by law enforcement agencies.

1.2 Products addressed by this specification include hand-held or hand-carried shields (having single or multiple panels, multi-fold shields) and person-portable shields with wheels.

1.2.1 Shields may be stand-alone or may incorporate in conjunction with (ICW) armor appliques.

1.3 Products not addressed by this specification include fixed or mobile barriers not intended to move during an operation and flexible shields that drape across the surfaces upon which they are placed (for example, ballistic blankets).

Note 2: The above products are addressed by Specification E3236/E3236M.

1.4 This specification addresses ballistic performance in terms of resistance to penetration (RTP) of the shield body, body edges, viewports, fasteners, and weak points.

1.5 Shields covered by this specification are classified into ASTM shield ballistic protection levels (see Section 10).

1.6 This specification is applicable for certification testing, verification testing, or research and development testing.

1.7 Values stated in either the International System of Units (metric) or U.S. Customary units [inch-pound] are to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated in each system may not be exact equivalents. Tests conducted using either system maintain repeatability and reproducibility of the test method and results are comparable.

1.8 This specification is divided into the following sections:

1.9 The tests required by this standard have inherent hazards. This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

1.10 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
