Product Standards and Rule Changes
SGMA and Our Involvement in the National Operating Committee for Standards for Athletic Equipment (NOCSAE)
The National Operating Committee for Standards for Athletic Equipment (NOCSAE) was created in 1969. NOCSAE was created, where feasible and required by sport governing bodies, to establish standards for protective athletic equipment. SGMA was very active in the development and the creation of NOCSAE.
Currently, SGMA is the lead organization representing manufacturer's interest in the creation of standards for protective equipment. The industry is represented on the NOCSAE executive committee and board by SGMA and an additional SGMA member company, that is a licensee of NOCSAE, put forward by SGMA.
During the past year SGMA has worked with segments of the industry and the NOCSAE board to insure new standards are fair to the industry while representing needed changes or requirements imposed by various sport governing bodies.
