Fragmentation Protection – The EOD Suit and Helmet shall provide V50 fragmentation protection as per the table below, including, those that exceed the minimum values required by NIJ Standard 0117.01, when tested and documented by an independent test facility in accordance with the best test methods of NIJ standard 0117.01.; Blast Overpressure Protection – As documented by an independent test facility and conducted in accordance with the test methods of NIJ standard 0117.01. The NIJ standard only includes a qualitative test method (blast integrity) related to blast overpressure, for a blast condition involving 0.567 kg of C4 explosive at a horizontal standoff of 0.6 m from a suitable test mannequin, as specified in the standard.; Helmet Visor Optics Testing (NIJ) – As documented by an independent NIJ-approved test facility and conducted in accordance with the test methods of NIJ standard 0117.01. The bomb helmet face shield must meet the requirements for Optics (Distortion, Luminous Transmittance, Haze Resistance, Refractive Power, Prismatic Deviation) as per Section 5.3 from the NIJ 0117.01 Standard, with tests conducted as per Sections 6.20 to 6.25.; Helmet Impact Protection – The EOD Helmet shall be independently tested by an independent NIJapproved test facility against the requirements from the head protection tests from the NIJ standard 0117.01 (test at material temperatures of +21C, -10C, + 40C, with two consecutive impacts at four helmet locations). The measured accelerations under these test conditions can never exceed 290 J.
