From US Lacrosse The headgear performance standard for women’s lacrosse was formally approved Thursday by members of ASTM Committee F08 that oversees sports equipment. Representatives from US Lacrosse serve as members of Committee F08 and worked collaboratively within the ASTM structure to develop the performance standard over a period of two years. The approval was finalized at this week’s semi-annual ASTM International meeting in Anaheim. It is expected that the new standard will be published by ASTM by July 1, at which time it will also receive an ASTM identification number. The performance standard can then be used by product manufacturers as the required specifications for women’s lacrosse headgear. ASTM is an international organization that develops technical standards for products in the marketplace. Please read the rest at USLacrosse.org
