These involve follow-up inspection and testing–tested armor models that had issues previously identified as being noncompliant with the requirements of the National Institute of Justice Compliance Testing Program (NIJ CTP) and, through an established NIJ CTP process, the issues were satisfactorily resolved. Generally, this means that the applicant has (1) accounted for all affected armors, (2) notified all affected end users, (3) conducted a root cause analysis, and (4) implemented the appropriate corrective actions to ensure repeated occurrences of the identified issue(s) do not occur. The CTP considers an Advisory Notice to be closed when the applicant has provided sufficient documentation and evidence that all of these conditions have been met.
