METHOD FOR DESIGNING CLOTHING AND EQUIPMENT FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT, AND THE METHOD FOR HOMOLOGATING SUCH CLOTHING AND EQUIPMENT.

摘要

A method for designing clothing and equipment for protecting law enforcement officers comprising the following steps: equipping a dummy with cinematic and/or load sensors, - positioning an impact application device to apply impacts on a target zone of the impact dummy, and the apply these impacts without the protection and the recording of the resulting measurements, the mounting of a form of protection on the target zone of the dummy, - the application of these impacts on the protected dummies, and the reading of the ensuing measurements, - the deduction of the energy absorbed from the measurements the value and/or attenuation of the impact force by the protection,- if the value(s) are superior to the threshold values, the clothing or equipment can be tagged as acceptable,- otherwise, structural modifications must be made to the protective clothing or equipment with the purpose of improving these values. Application of standardized tests for levels of protection in order to facilitate the choice of equipment for its intended usage.
