LACROSSE Standards

This standard specification establishes performance requirements for the recertification of lacrosse helmets.

This standard test method describes laboratory equipment and basic requirements pertinent to testing headgear/equipment. Deviations, additions, or both, to this test method will be specified as required in the appropriate NOCSAE standard performance specifications.

This procedural guide establishes some basic principles and benchmarks that can be used to evaluate QA/QC practices for sampling and product assessment for the purpose of determining compliance to NOCSAE standards.

This standard test method and specification describes laboratory equipment, test methods and performance requirements pertinent to corrosion testing metallic hardware.

This procedural guide establishes recommended practices for calibrating equipment used in NOCSAE testing.

This standard test method describes laboratory equipment and basic requirements pertinent to projectile impact testing of protective headgear or certain projectiles. Deviations, additions or both, to this test method will be specified, as required, in individual standard performance specifications.

This standard specification establishes performance requirements for new lacrosse headgear as supplied by manufacturers. Helmets are to be tested with attached compatible faceguard. Faceguards must be, or have been, tested to and comply with NOCSAE 045 on the same helmet model as presented for testing.

This procedural guide establishes recommended practices for the certification of lacrosse helmets.

This procedural guide establishes recommended practices for the recertification of lacrosse helmets.

This standard specification establishes performance requirements for new lacrosse face protectors intended to be mounted onto compatible lacrosse helmets that have been certified to meet the NOCSAE standard as supplied by manufacturers. In addition to meeting the requirements of this standard the entire headgear must be tested to demonstrate that the face protector has not compromised the ability of the helmet to comply with NOCSAE DOC 041.

This standard specification establishes performance requirements in the weight, compression deflection load, circumference, and coefficient of restitution for new lacrosse balls as supplied by manufacturers.

This procedural guide establishes recommended practices for the certification of lacrosse balls.

This operation and troubleshooting guide address potential problems that may be encountered while utilizing NOCSAE Drop Test equipment.

This standard test method describes laboratory equipment and basic requirements pertinent to projectile testing of protectors for commotio cortis using the NOCSAE Thoracic Surrogate. It is believed that compliance with this test method will lead to improved protector performance, thus a reduced risk of commotio cordis. The protector for commotio cortis shall be supplied as offered for sale with required hardware and fitting instructions along with required accessories if any are required for the protector to function as designed.

This procedural guide establishes recommended practices for the certification of chest protectors to commotio cordis.
