HEADGEAR SPECS GO TO BALLOT
The evolution of headgear for girls’ and women’s lacrosse reached a significant milestone in September, as the performance standard that will define the product’s manufacturing specifications entered the first of two balloting phases among members of ASTM, the international organization that develops technical standards for products in the marketplace. Two years ago, US Lacrosse joined forces with equipment manufacturers, product testing laboratories, researchers and other governing bodies to work with ASTM to develop a standard for protection based on scientific research. None of the headgear products currently on the market have been developed based on scientific testing. ASTM’s two balloting approval phases are expected to conclude by early 2015.
