Testing

We are committed to maintaining our product standard and quality.

One way we ensure this is through regular testing of our materials, pre and during production.

We have to maintain certain standards to maintain our H.O.S.D.B. certification for our limb protectors. These standards are governed by the H.O.S.D.B. and testing specifications are outlined.

Please note that at present there are no H.O.S.D.B. standards in circulation for personal protective shields. However, DMS Protective Equipment is working with the H.O.S.D.B. to conclude a standard that ensures the highest level of safety for the officers.
