FAQs
Are stab vests legal in New Zealand?
Yes, stab vests are legal for purchase and use by security, corrections, and healthcare professionals. Always ensure procurement is done through legitimate channels.
Do I need ballistic protection?
In most New Zealand frontline roles, especially corrections and private security, ballistic protection is not necessary. PPSS Group Stab vests are specifically designed for threats like knives, spikes, and blunt trauma and do not provide any certified ballistic protection.
Do your stab vests meet NZ standards?
While New Zealand does not have its own national stab resistance certification, our vests are certified to internationally recognised standards including CAST KR1/SP1 (Knife and Spike Protection), NIJ Standard 0115.00 Certification (Threat Level 1 Spike and Edged Blades) and VPAM W5 (German Standard for Blunt Force Protection).
Can I customise vests with our company branding?
Yes. We offer bespoke customisation options including logos, badges, colourways. We also provide additional customisations should you meet the MOQs.
Do you supply directly to New Zealand?
Absolutely. We deliver across New Zealand and support all government procurement methods. For any more information on lead times and shipping please get in touch.
