Protection Levels

       

See our Protection Levels Table

There are 5 to 6 internationally accepted standards which define levels of protection.  It is, therefore, important that one understands what level of armoring is desired and the perceived threat.  The professionals at International Armoring (IAC) help each client determine which is the best level of protection for each individual. This understanding is important when selecting the right armored car.
