The National Institute of Justice (NIJ) and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) are jointly hosting a workshop focused on the NIJ Stab-resistant Body Armor Standard, and the discussion is directed toward manufacturers, certification bodies, and test laboratories. This workshop is being held specifically to discuss with interested parties recent progress made toward the revised NIJ Stab-resistant Body Armor Standard and to receive input, comments, and recommendations. The workshop will be held on Wednesday, November 30, 2011 at NIST, 100 Bureau Drive, Gaithersburg, MD, Building 101, Lecture Room A. The workshop will begin with a general session from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. Following the general session, individual 30-minute breakout session will be offered from 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. for those interested in the following: (1) One-on-one conversation with NIJ leadership.

Workshop discussions will be documented and published on https:// www.justnet.org. Information shared during the individual breakout sessions that NIJ views as beneficial to the broader body armor community will be summarized as part of the workshop notes. Contributors of comments will not be identified in the workshop notes. Each attendee is advised that it is the responsibility of the contributor to protect any information that they may consider proprietary during both the workshop and any individual breakout session in which they may participate.
