Standard Specification for Ballistic-Resistant Shields Used by Law Enforcement Officers
The first-of-its-kind ASTM performance specification for ballistic-resistant LE shields. Defines minimum performance against handgun and rifle ammunition; applies to hand-held, hand-carried, multi-fold, and person-portable wheeled shields. Addresses resistance-to-penetration of the shield body, edges, viewports, fasteners, and weak points — going beyond NIJ 0108.01's panel-only material-resistance scope. The first rifle-rated shield to pass E3347 (GC Patrol Shield) marked the standard's real-world debut. Excludes fixed/mobile barriers and flexible draped shields.
