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 standard test method describes laboratory equipment and basic requirements pertinent to pneumatic ram testing of protective headgear with face guards. The concept of the pneumatic ram is to deliver an impact to a helmeted, instrumented, headform on a Hybrid III neck that is free to move post impact. This test method has been designed to subject the headgear to both centric and non-centric impacts while capturing both linear and rotational acceleration. It is believed that compliance with this test method will lead to improved headgear performance. Deviations to this test method will be specified in individual standard performance specifications.

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

This proposed new standard specification may establish a performance requirement for new youth football helmets as supplied by manufacturers.

This standard specification establishes performance requirements for the friction and adhesion properties of new football player’s hand coverings (gloves, hand pads, etc.) as supplied by manufacturers. This standard test method and performance specification is specifically created to limit the level of stick/tackiness of hand coverings to limit the potential aid these devices may have in handling/catching the ball.

This procedural guide establishes recommended practices for the certification of football players’ hand coverings such as gloves and hand pads.

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 baseball/softball catcher helmets with attached faceguard as supplied by manufacturers.

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

This standard specification establishes performance requirements for new baseball/softball fielder headgear and optional baseball/softball fielder headgear face protectors intended to be mounted to fielder headgear certified as meeting the NOCSAE standard for baseball/softball fielder headgear as supplied by the manufacturer of the face protector. The optional face protector shall be supplied with the required hardware and instructions for mounting, along with required accessories (like a chin strap) if any are required for the face protector to function as designed. Baseball/softball fielder headgear and face protectors for use with softballs only must be clearly marked as such.

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 standard specification establishes performance requirements for new baseball/softball batter’s helmet face protectors intended to be mounted to batters helmets certified as meeting the NOCSAE standard for baseball/softball batters helmets as supplied by the manufacturer of the face protector. The face protector shall be supplied with the required hardware and instructions for mounting, along with required accessories (like a chin strap) if any are required for the face protector to function as designed.
