Testing Information Management System (TIMS)

0101.07 CTP Version of TIMS:

Applicants who wish to participate in the National Institute of Justice Compliance Testing Program (NIJ CTP) as part of the new Compliance Testing Program for NIJ Standard 0101.07 (Ballistic-Resistant Body Armor) are invited to register in the new Testing Information Management System (TIMS).

The new TIMS provides an enhanced experience for all NIJ CTP stakeholders, with many updated features, including an improved user interface. The NIJ CTP presented a webinar introducing stakeholders to this new system on Tuesday, April 2, 2024. Click here to access the recording of the webinar, which provides an overview of the new TIMS and how to use key features in the system. The webinar included a live Q&A session with NIJ CTP representatives.

Participants will be required to complete a new NIJ CTP Participant Agreement in the new TIMS. Once NIJ CTP Participants have established accounts in the new TIMS, completed the new NIJ CTP Participant Agreement, and established authorized users and roles for their organization, they will be able to create new body armor model applications to submit for .07 testing. The NIJ CTP will begin accepting these new .07 body armor model applications in TIMS on Tuesday, October 1, 2024. The NIJ CTP anticipates that testing of models at NIJ-approved laboratories will begin in early November 2024. Please monitor this page for updates.

0101.06 CTP Version of TIMS:

The NIJ CTP stopped accepting applications for new body armor models for testing for compliance to NIJ Standard 0101.06 on January 5, 2024, at 5:00 p.m. Eastern time. Initial Type Testing (ITT) to 0101.06 has ended and the final models tested for compliance to NIJ Standard 0101.06 are now completing the post-test process. Registered Participants of the 0101.06 program can access the previous version of TIMS here to check on the status of those models.

All 0101.06 models will be adjudicated through the compliance testing process before the end of December 2024, and any models issued a NIJ Notice of Compliance will be added to the .06 CPL. When this activity is completed, the 0101.06 version of TIMS will be sunset and no longer available for access by NIJ CTP Participants. However, the .06 CPL will remain publicly available online on both the NIJ and CJTTEC websites for several years, and all armor models actively listed on the .06 CPL will be subject to Follow-up Inspection Testing (FIT) for as long as the .06 CPL is published.
