Product Guarantee

  1. All products have been submitted for testing by PPSS Ltd to certified bodies to confirm all protection levels quoted.  It is therefore unnecessary for you to test any products yourself.  Should you choose to test any of the products, please note this will void any warranty or guarantee offered in these Terms and Conditions and PPSS Ltd is under no obligation to provide you with a replacement.
  2. All garments using Cut-Tex® PRO have been tested to BS EN 388:2003 6.2 Level 5.  The products are therefore guaranteed under this certification to protect the wearer from cutting threats to the stated level only.
  3. All Cut-Tex PRO garments come with a six month warranty against workmanship and quality; for example stitching.
  4. All Stab Vests are tested and certified by the Home Office Scientific Development Branch (HOSDB) to KR1 and KR2.  Stab Vests are therefore guaranteed under these certifications to protect the wearer from stab threats to the stated levels only.
  5. The KR1 and KR2 stab vests offer a secondary advantage of substantial protection against impact.  The level of impact protection is substantial but not specified or certified and will of course be defeated if enough force is applied.
  6. If damage occurs to the armour inserts during an on-duty confrontation with a sharp instrument, we will replace the damaged plate for a charge of £50.00 + vat.  Simply return the damaged plate to us and enclose the original police report stating that your PPSS Stab Vest protected you and explaining how the damaged occurred.  Customers are responsible for all shipping costs.  If any components are damaged due to neglect, misuse or abuse, this guarantee is null and void.
  7. All Stab Vest covers come with a six month warranty against workmanship and quality; for example stitching, zips, etc
