Prices are listed in the following categories:

Time to Perform Testing
Our standard turn around time to perform ballistic testing is usually within 7 to 10 days. If needed, we can test your products within 24 hours at no additional cost. However, if we are fully scheduled at the time or your project requires additional set up time, a RUSH charge may apply to have them tested within the 24 hour period. Please contact us for scheduling and RUSH service pricing.

Online Project Management Service - Access your Ballistic Testing Reports Online
If you would like to have continuous 24 hour /day access to your Ballistic Testing Projects via the Internet, we offer an optional password protected Online Project Management Service. All CFR generated documentation associated with your projects such as the Ballistic Testing Reports, Photographs, and Video Documentation are organized and posted to a private, password protect area within our website for easy access 24 hours a day from anywhere in the world. This Online option is a great way to manage your projects, maintain a history of all your projects, and share information among your colleagues and project personnel.

 

Reporting Options
The prices stated below reflect CFR’s General Pricing. If you require Test Reports, Photographs, and or Video Documentation, then add the cost of the following Additional Reporting Options to the testing prices.

Offering separate prices for the Ballistic Testing and Reporting Options works well for many of our customers. For example, if your are in the product development stage and your samples happen to fail the ballistic tests, you may not need reports stating the failures. In this case you can save some money forgoing the reporting options and just get the results by phone.

Reports, Photography, and Video Documentation Formats
Ballistic Testing Reports, Photographs, and Video Documentation will be submitted to you in electronic digital format. Ballistic Testing Reports are in Adobe® PDF file format, Photographs are in jpg image format, and Video is in Windows® Media Player format. For fast delivery, all documentation will be sent to you by email. If for some reason you choose not to have Ballistic Testing Reports generated for your project, we will then call you by phone and give you a summary of the test results.
