The NIJ (National Institute of Justice) levels are divided into the following classes:

NIJ level I (1)
Protects against "slower" 9mm bullets, .40 S&W
Specifically: These products protect against 9mm full metal jacket round nose (FMJRN) with a nominal mass of 8.0 grams (124 grains) and an impact velocity of 332 m/s or less, and .40 S&W caliber Full Metal Jacket (FMJ) bullets with a nominal mass of 11.7 grams (180 grains) and an impact velocity of 312 m/s or less. This also protects against NIJ level 1 threats. Level IIA vests are suitable for agents who need to wear them full-time and may encounter such threats.

NIJ level II (2)
Protects against "fast" 9mm bullets, .357 Magnum
Specifically: These products protect against .357 Magnum Jacketed Soft-Point (JSP) bullets with a nominal mass of 10.2 grams (158 grains) and an impact velocity of 425 m/s or less, and 9mm full jacket bullets with a nominal velocity of 358 m/s. It also protects against most other factory loads in .357 Magnum and 9mm, and again against NIJ level 1 and 2A threats. Level II body armor is heavier and thicker than level 1 and 2A and is worn by individuals who may encounter such threats.

NIJ level IIIA (3A)
Protects against .44 Magnum and 9mm machine gun
Specifically: These products protect against .44 Magnum Semi Jacket Hollow Point (SJHP) bullets with a nominal mass of 15.55 grams (240 grains) and an impact velocity of 426 m/s or less, and against 9mm full metal jacket bullets with a nominal mass of 8.0 grams (124 grains) and an impact velocity of 426 m/s or less. It also protects against most handguns and, again, against NIJ level 1 and 2A threats. Level IIIA body armor provides the highest level of protection for covert vests and is generally suitable for most situations. However, it can be warmer than the previous levels in extremely hot conditions, and the level may be adjusted depending on the threat level.

NIJ level III (3)
Protects against high-power rifles
Specifically: These products are usually made of hard or rigid materials and protect against 7.62mm Full Metal Jacket bullets (US Mil M80) with a nominal mass of 9.7 grams (150 grains) and an impact velocity of 838 m/s or less, as well as threats like the 223 Remington (5.56mm FMJ), 30 Carbine FMJ, and 12-gauge shotgun slugs.

NIJ level IV (4)
Protects against bullets designed to penetrate ballistic plates
Specifically: These products protect against .30-06 caliber armor-piercing bullets (originally US military APM2) with a nominal mass of 10.08 grams (166 grains) and an impact velocity of 868 m/s or less. It also protects against at least one impact from any of the previous levels. Level 4 body armor provides the highest possible protection currently available. As it is designed to stop armor-piercing bullets, it is often made of a type of ceramic material. These materials are originally fragile and typically break upon impact. Like Level 3 armor, Level 4 is designed for tactical situations when the threat necessitates such measures.
