Explanation
Statements 1 and 2 are correct. The Bureau of Indian Standards issued the formal code IS 19445: 2025 to create a unified domestic testing framework for protective suits and bomb disposal systems (1). This standard ensures uniform safety criteria, helping improve the compatibility and interoperability of equipment across different police, military, and emergency response teams (2). Statement 3 is incorrect because the technical specification was developed through domestic collaboration involving Indian defense scientists and security agencies under the Make in India framework, rather than being co-developed with a Russian state research institute.
