The 0101.07 standard published in 2023 and the grandfathering window for 0101.06 products is finite. This is the place to compare notes on how the transition is actually playing out.
Discussion prompts:
- CPL status. Which products you're running are currently 0101.06-only? Any been pulled to a 0101.07 SKU yet?
- Backward-compatible? Any OEMs offering re-cert against 0101.07 without swapping the vest?
- Threat-level nomenclature changes. The new level names (HG1, HG2, RF1, RF2, RF3) vs IIIA/III/IV — are your procurement docs updated?
- Female-fit + conditioning test changes. Anyone see practical differences in what's certified now vs 2021?
- BVP alignment. Has BJA issued guidance on whether 0101.06 purchases will remain reimbursable past a specific date?
