STANAG 4569 protection levels for armoured vehicle occupants
Makers and integrators of armoured vehicles, and the programmes that define protection requirements for their occupants.
STANAG 4569 is NATO's agreement on protection levels for occupants of armoured vehicles. NATO has not released it publicly; this page describes it from the Czech defence standards that implement it and the NATO publications that cite it.

NATO has not released this STANAG publicly. It is NATO UNCLASSIFIED, and organisations that need it obtain it through their national standardization authority.
What it is
STANAG 4569 is the NATO agreement on protection levels for occupants of armoured vehicles. Edition 4, promulgated in February 2022 under CNAD, AC/225 NAAG, LCGLE, covers three publications: AEP-55 edition D, AVPP-01 edition B and AVPP-02 edition A.
NATO has not released STANAG 4569 publicly, so this page describes it from the Czech defence standards index, whose entries for ČOS 250001 to ČOS 250026 each name the volume or part they implement, and from NATO publications that cite it. What follows is the Czech standards' own description, not NATO's text.
What the Czech implementation covers
According to the Czech index, ČOS 250001 (AEP-55 Volume I) sets the capability assessment and acceptance procedure for the protection level of armoured vehicles against small- and medium-calibre kinetic-energy projectiles and artillery-shell fragments. ČOS 250002 (Volume II) sets the threats, test conditions and criteria for crew vulnerability or safety when vehicles are exposed to grenade and mine explosions, and ČOS 250003 (Volume III Part I) does the same for improvised explosive devices. ČOS 250004 (Volume III Part II) defines the test procedures for crews exposed to improvised explosive device blast. ČOS 250020 (Volume IV Part I) sets a method for determining protection levels against chemical-energy explosive threats, and ČOS 250021 (Volume IV Part II) gives the data defining those threat levels and the surrogate threats used in specific test procedures.
ČOS 250005 (AVPP-01 Part I) gives an overview of the protection levels and test procedures, and is to be used to define ballistic, anti-mine and armour protection requirements. ČOS 250026 (AVPP-01 Part II) contains the characteristics of improvised explosive devices. ČOS 250022 (AVPP-02) is a handbook on setting and marking the classification of reports and other outputs produced under these standards. In the Czech Republic it is under controlled distribution, available only on request through the national Defence Standardisation Register.
Where it is cited
The NATO publications AAS3P-10, AAS3P-11, AAS3P-20, AAS3P-21, AAS3P-22 and AAS3P-23 list STANAG 4569 against Blast Overpressure in their cross-reference tables, alongside ITOP 04-2-822 and DOD 6055.9-STD.

Three partners, three Member States, one evidence base
The EDF consortium rule is usually quoted as three entities from three Member States. It has a second limb about control that the word independent quietly hides, and two exceptions that disapply it entirely.
