Body armor standards are established by the Underwriters Laboratory and National Institute of Justice, and they help buyers know what kind of protection they’re getting. The higher the armor’s number, the greater the protection, and generally the higher the weight and cost.

It is used in the military and law enforcement industry.
It is mainly used equipment for the military and law enforcement, like body armor.
This steel plate tends to have poor machinability.

ANSWER:
Originally, armor was quite heavy and difficult to maneuver. On the other hand, it is considered a necessity to protect vital organs that are located in the thorax and chest area. To take advantage of its strength while giving it mobility, armor is provided in “plate carrier” vests. Worn by the military and police, the vest allows law enforcement personnel to swap out armor plates as needed.
ANSWER:
The National Institute of Justice establishes the body armor standards, as well as informs customers on what kind of body armor and protection they are getting. An example is the the Level III armor, which can stop some rifle rounds like the 7.62 x 39. Pistol rounds up to and including 0.357 Magnum can be stopped by Level IIIA armor.
