Dude, wrong link, that's armoured vehicle armour ratings

"NATO AEP-55 STANAG 4569 is a NATO Standardization Agreement covering the standards for the "Protection Levels for Occupants of Logistic and Light Armored Vehicles"

Body armour here

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_body_armor_performance_standards#NIJ_armor_standard_(United_States)

Level 1 got re-rated last year - so older than 2024 Level 1 will stop a .22 or .380ACP post 2024 Level 1 will stop a 9mm (the old lvl 2)
