According to the search results provided, the execution standard for bulletproof and stab-proof clothing is the GA68-2008 "Police Stab-resistant Clothing" issued by the Ministry of Public Security of the People's Republic of China. This standard replaces the previous GA68-2003 standard. Here are the key technical performance indicators of this standard:

Stab resistance: Stab-resistant clothing should effectively protect the human body from attacks by common sharp weapons such as knives, reducing the threat of stab wounds to protected parts of the body. Specifically, using a standard test knife with added weight of 2.4 kg and tested with 24J kinetic energy, the tip of the knife should not penetrate the stab-resistant clothing when stabbed at 0° and 45° angles.

Protection area: The total area of stab-resistant clothing should be greater than or equal to 0.3 square meters, covering the main internal organs of the body, including front, back, and side protection.

Wearability: After wearing stab-resistant clothing, there should be no significant restrictions on the free movement of both arms and on actions such as kneeling, jumping, squatting, running, bending, and rotating.

Other characteristics: The design of stab-resistant clothing is vest-style, available in three sizes: L, M, and S; the appearance features include a dark blue outer jacket, a police badge pattern, and the word "police" printed on it; the product number is located on the inside of the jacket, composed of a metal chip or a non-metallic chip; in terms of packaging, each piece of stab-resistant clothing should be individually packaged, with relevant labels and information printed on the packaging bag surface.

In addition, there are other related international standards and domestic industry standards, such as the U.S. NIJ Standard 0115.00, but these are typically used to evaluate the performance of civilian bulletproof vests rather than specifically for police stab-resistant clothing.
