ASTM International Standard Specification for Indoor Ballistic Test Ranges for Small Arms and Fragmentation Testing of Ballistic-resistant Items ASTM E3062/E3062M-20(2026)

This specification establishes the indoor ballistic test range requirements for small arms and fragmentation testing of the following ballistic-resistant items: soft body armor, hard armor plates, body armor accessories, shields, and helmets. It specifies critical test range parameters in order to achieve consistency/repeatab ility among test ranges. It does not apply to "contact" shots taken on the test item (that is, the muzzle rests on the strike face of the test item).
