Testing
Producing Bulletproof Furniture Through Quality Materials
First Line Furniture products are rated NIJ level 3 and made from only UL752 – Level 8 Material. What exactly does that mean, you ask?
Please see below.
UL 752 Industry Standards
Underwriters Laboratories, Inc., the world’s oldest and largest, not-for-profit, independent testing company, wrote the standard for bullet-resistant materials. The UL752 standard has been widely accepted throughout the world as the standard for architectural bullet-resistive building materials.
A ballistic-resistive product becomes “UL Listed” after being subjected to a variety of ballistic tests, which include shooting the materials while frozen at -25° Fahrenheit and while heated to 120° Fahrenheit.
After the initial testing series, the product is then set up for maintenance testing that involves “pulling random samples” without notice from the manufacturer’s routine production on a quarterly rotation. This rigorous testing schedule ensures that the product is being made without variation and has the highest level of ballistic-resistive integrity available.
