What are the NOCSAE standards for football helmets. How does NOCSAE certification work for athletic equipment. Does NOCSAE have rules about helmet age or recertification. What should you know about modifying helmets with attachments.
NOCSAE’s Role in Football Helmet Standards
The National Operating Committee on Standards for Athletic Equipment (NOCSAE) plays a crucial role in ensuring the safety of athletes by setting rigorous standards for football helmets. These standards are widely recognized and adopted by various sports organizations, including the National Football League (NFL).
NOCSAE does not directly certify or approve athletic equipment. Instead, it establishes the test and performance standards that helmets must meet. The actual certification process is carried out by the Safety Equipment Institute (SEI), an independent third-party organization. This separation of standard-setting and certification enhances the integrity of the process and provides athletes with confidence in their equipment’s safety.
Key Points About NOCSAE Standards
- NOCSAE sets the most rigorous standards for football helmets globally
- The NFL requires players to wear helmets that meet NOCSAE standards
- Third-party certification is conducted by the Safety Equipment Institute (SEI)
- NOCSAE is an independent, nonprofit organization focused on enhancing athletic safety
The 10-Year Rule: Clarifying Misconceptions
A common misconception in the sports world is that NOCSAE has a rule preventing the use or recertification of football helmets that are 10 years old or older. This is not the case. NOCSAE does not have any rules regarding the age of helmets or their eligibility for recertification.
The 10-year rule that many are familiar with actually comes from a different organization: the National Athletic Equipment Reconditioners Association (NAERA). It’s important to note that NOCSAE and NAERA are separate entities, and NOCSAE does not control or influence NAERA’s policies.
Clarifying the 10-Year Rule
- NOCSAE does not have a rule preventing the use of helmets over 10 years old
- The 10-year recertification limit is set by NAERA, not NOCSAE
- NOCSAE and NAERA are separate organizations with distinct policies
Recent NFL Helmet Controversies
The importance of helmet standards and certifications has been highlighted by recent controversies in the NFL. Two high-profile cases have brought attention to the issue of helmet safety and regulations:
- Antonio Brown, then with the Oakland Raiders, threatened not to play because his preferred helmet model was no longer certified.
- Tom Brady of the New England Patriots had to switch to a different helmet model because his previous one was banned by the NFL.
These incidents underscore the ongoing evolution of helmet safety standards and the need for players to adapt to new regulations aimed at improving their protection.
The Certification Process for Athletic Equipment
Understanding the certification process for athletic equipment is crucial for athletes, coaches, and parents. While NOCSAE sets the standards, the actual certification is handled by the Safety Equipment Institute (SEI).
How Does Certification Work?
- NOCSAE establishes test and performance standards for athletic equipment
- Manufacturers produce equipment designed to meet these standards
- SEI tests the equipment to ensure it meets NOCSAE standards
- If the equipment passes, it receives certification and can bear the NOCSAE stamp
This process ensures that all certified equipment has been rigorously tested by an independent body, providing an extra layer of assurance for athletes and their families.
Modifying Helmets: What You Need to Know
As the popularity of helmet attachments grows, it’s important to understand the implications of modifying helmets. Organizations like Little League® require batters to wear helmets that meet NOCSAE specifications and bear the NOCSAE stamp. However, altering a helmet can potentially void its NOCSAE certification.
Risks of Helmet Modification
- Drilling holes or removing padding may void the helmet’s certification
- Voided certification makes the helmet illegal for use in many leagues
- Manufacturers should be consulted before any modifications are made
It’s crucial to understand that even seemingly minor modifications can have significant implications for a helmet’s safety certification. Always consult with the manufacturer before making any changes to ensure the helmet remains compliant with safety standards.
Understanding Helmet Attachments
Helmet attachments, such as the popular “c-flap” face guards, are products sold separately from the helmet itself. These attachments are designed to provide additional protection, but their use can be complicated from a safety and regulation standpoint.
Types of Helmet Attachments
- C-flaps: Hard plastic extensions attached to the ear-flap of a batter’s helmet
- Face guards: Attachments covering the entire face, typically not requiring helmet alteration
While these attachments can offer additional protection, it’s crucial to ensure that their installation doesn’t compromise the helmet’s overall safety or certification. Always check with league officials and helmet manufacturers before using any attachments.
The Importance of Proper Helmet Fit and Maintenance
While certification and standards are crucial, the effectiveness of a helmet also depends on proper fit and maintenance. A certified helmet that doesn’t fit correctly or is poorly maintained may not provide optimal protection.
Tips for Proper Helmet Care
- Ensure the helmet fits snugly and comfortably
- Regularly inspect the helmet for any signs of damage or wear
- Clean the helmet according to manufacturer instructions
- Replace the helmet if it sustains a significant impact, even if no visible damage is apparent
By combining certified equipment with proper fit and maintenance, athletes can maximize their protection on the field.
The Future of Helmet Safety and Standards
As our understanding of sports-related head injuries evolves, so too do the standards and technologies used in helmet design. NOCSAE and other organizations continue to research and develop new methods for improving helmet safety.
Emerging Trends in Helmet Safety
- Advanced impact-absorbing materials
- Sensors and smart technologies for impact detection
- Customized helmet designs based on individual player data
These advancements promise to further enhance athlete safety in the coming years. However, it’s important to remember that no helmet can completely eliminate the risk of injury, and proper technique and rule adherence remain crucial components of player safety.
As we look to the future of helmet safety, it’s clear that organizations like NOCSAE will continue to play a vital role in setting and maintaining standards. Their work, combined with ongoing research and technological advancements, will help ensure that athletes at all levels have access to the best possible protection.
The landscape of sports safety is constantly evolving, and it’s crucial for athletes, coaches, parents, and officials to stay informed about the latest standards and best practices. By understanding the role of organizations like NOCSAE, the certification process, and the importance of proper equipment use and maintenance, we can all contribute to a safer sporting environment.
As we’ve seen with recent controversies in professional sports, changes in equipment standards can sometimes be met with resistance. However, these changes are driven by a commitment to athlete safety based on the latest scientific research. It’s important for players at all levels to embrace these advancements, even if it means adapting to new equipment.
The journey towards optimal helmet safety is an ongoing process, requiring collaboration between standards organizations, manufacturers, sports leagues, and athletes themselves. By staying informed and prioritizing safety, we can ensure that the thrill of sports is matched by a commitment to protecting those who play them.
Remember, while certified equipment is crucial, it’s just one part of a comprehensive approach to sports safety. Proper training, good sportsmanship, and adherence to game rules all play vital roles in creating a safe environment for athletes. As we continue to push the boundaries of athletic performance, let’s ensure that safety remains at the forefront of our sporting endeavors.
OVERLAND PARK, KANSAS (August 12, 2019) – The National Operating Committee on Standards for Athletic Equipment (NOCSAE) has released the following statement to clarify the organization’s rules related to football helmets.
NOCSAE sets test and performance standards for football helmets and the NFL requires that football helmets worn by players in the league meet NOCSAE standards.
The rule that prevents recertification for helmets after 10 years is set by a separate organization called NAERA, the National Athletic Equipment Reconditioners Association. NOCSAE does not participate in the management or administration of NAERA and does not direct or control NAERA policies.
NOCSAE does not have a rule that prevents players in the NFL or any league from wearing specific football helmets or football helmets that are more than 10 years old. There is also no NOCSAE rule that prevents football helmets 10 years old or older from being recertified to NOCSAE standards.
NOCSAE has established the most rigorous standards for football helmets in the world and NOCSAE’s first priority is the safety and protection of athletes. NOCSAE is an independent and nonprofit standards development body with the sole mission of enhancing athletic safety through scientific research and the creation of performance standards for athletic equipment.

Modifying Helmets with Additional Attachments: What You Need to Know
The safety of all our participants is our utmost concern, and, like the vast majority of youth organizations, Little League® requires our batters to wear helmets that meet National Operating Committee on Standards for Athletic Equipment (NOCSAE) specifications and bear the NOCSAE stamp.
As the popularity of helmet attachments (c-flap, etc.) increase throughout baseball and softball, Little League® International has begun to receive inquiries from our families, players, and volunteers as to whether or not they’re permitted in Little League play.
Altering a helmet in anyway (drilling holes, removing padding, etc.) may cause a manufacturer to void the NOCSAE certification of that helmet, making it illegal to use in Little League play. If you have altered your helmet or intend to, please contact the helmet manufacturer to determine if altering the helmet will void the NOCSAE certification.
What are helmet attachments?
Helmet attachments are products that are sold separately from helmet, that you, the consumer, are responsible for attaching to the helmet. They include the “c-flap,” and similar face guards which is a hard-plastic extension that attaches to the ear-flap of a batter’s helmet.
How is this different from a facemask?
A facemask is an attachment that covers the entire face and typically does not require the helmet to be altered by drilling holes into the helmet to attach the facemask. Many manufacturers sell helmets with a facemask already attached that are NOCSAE certified.
Can we use them?
In order to use a helmet attachment in Little League play, the helmet manufacturer must provide a notice indicating that affixing the protector to the helmet has not voided the helmet’s NOCSAE certification. That notice must be shown to the umpire prior to the game. Little League International has issued a letter to all youth batting helmet manufacturers for clarification on whether or not adding to their helmets voids their NOCSAE certification.
If the manufacturer’s response is not listed below and/or if you have not received a notice, or the notice is not available, helmets with an attachment are not permitted to be used.
What’s NOCSAE?
The mission of the National Operating Committee on Standards for Athletic Equipment (NOCSAE) is to commission research in sports medicine and science and establish standards for athletic equipment, where feasible, this includes batters’ helmets. Little League International regulations mandate that helmets meet NOCSAE specifications and bear the NOCSAE stamp.
Why can’t we use them without manufacturer approval?
According to NOCSAE, adding “products to a helmet previously certified as meeting the appropriate NOCSAE standard will make the certification voidable by the helmet manufacturer. Such additions to the helmet create a new and untested model, as defined in the NOCSAE standards.” You can read their release at NOCSAE.org. Little League is asking manufacturers to clarify whether or not their helmets with an added attachment are still NOCSAE certified, and therefore, permitted for Little League use.
Below is a full list of manufacturer responses and guidance on whether or not their helmets are still NOCSAE certified if an attachment has been added to the helmet:
helmet recertification described
Proper helmet recertification happens at a NOCSAE (National Operating Committee on Standards for Athletic Equipment) licensed facility (not owned or operated by NOCSAE). Recertification always includes reconditioning.
When football helmets arrive at a reconditioning and recertification facility, samples are selected, using a systematic, yet random selection process. These helmets are sent to a in-plant testing lab for specific impact tests.
Manufacturers, using standards developed by NOCSAE, establish expectations about when their helmet must be recertified and reconditioned. This information is always included with a new helmet and available online.
Most manufacturers require helmets to undergo the recertification/reconditioning process after every two seasons, minimum.
Recertification Testing Process
When a helmet is tested, it represents a batch of similar helmets in similar condition all treated same way through the process validating compliance for the batch.
The data from every test is collected and sent to both NOCSAE and NAERA (National Athletic Equipment Reconditioner Association).
No helmet can guarantee that a player will not be injured, or suffer a concussion.
Each parent, coach, and volunteer should ensure every helmet is properly cared for by inspecting it before each use, cleaning after each use with mild soap and water, and sending it in for regular reconditioning and recertification.
The NOCSAE website states: “A helmet certified to a NOCSAE standard provides a substantial level of protection for serious head injuries, including concussions, but the NOCSAE helmet standard is not a concussion standard, and no helmet can prevent all concussions, even those certified to the NOCSAE standard.”
Look for the Information
NOCSAE sets the standards—SEI (Safety Equipment Institute) certified NOCSAE helmets are required to meet these standards. Specific labels serve to inform players, parents, volunteers, and coaches about the requirements on every helmet.
Look for the stickers and information on each helmet that show when the helmet was manufactured and when it was recertified and reconditioned.
What is the test?
From the NOCSAE website: “The NOCSAE test standard involves mounting a football helmet on a synthetic head model and dropping it a total of 16 times onto a firm rubber pad, including two each from a height of 60 inches onto six locations at ambient temperatures. Two 60-inch drops onto the side are also conducted immediately after exposure of the helmet to 120 degrees F for four hours. Shock measurements are taken to determine if the helmet meets an established Severity Index for concussion tolerance and thereby meets the NOCSAE Football Helmet standard test. An equivalent to the 60-inch drop test would occur if a player running at 17.9 feet per second (12.2 mph) ran into a flat surface which stopped his head in less than one inch. Most players run faster than this, i.e., the average speed of a player running 40 yards in 4.8. seconds is 25 feet per second, but very rarely would the head be stopped in such a short distance on the football field.”

NOCSAE Voids Certification of Two Lacrosse Helmet Models
OVERLAND PARK, Kan., Nov. 24, 2014 /PRNewswire/ — The National Operating Committee on Standards for Athletic Equipment has voided the manufacturers’ NOCSAE® certification for the Warrior Regulator and the Cascade Model R lacrosse helmets.
A product manufacturer certifies compliance with NOCSAE® standards when it puts the NOCSAE® name and logo on a helmet. The certification tells the player, parent, coach and the governing bodies that the helmet has been subjected to all of the required testing, quality control and quality assurance obligations specified by the NOCSAE standard. The manufacturer must confirm that its helmet meets the standard in all aspects.
The Warrior Regulator and the Cascade Model R had been certified by the manufacturers as compliant with the NOCSAE® standard. NOCSAE® conducted an independent investigation and evaluation of the Warrior Regulator and the Cascade Model R, which included a review of each manufacturer’s internal certification testing and quality control data. NOCSAE® also purchased these models independently through various retail sources and sent them to its contracted laboratory for testing.
As a result of its investigation, NOCSAE® has concluded that these models, for all manufacturing dates, do not comply with the NOCSAE® standard ND041 and that the manufacturers’ certifications of compliance on those helmets is invalid. NOCSAE® has contacted each manufacturer and advised them of its conclusions.
The rules of play for lacrosse as provided by US Lacrosse, National Collegiate Athletic Association, National Federation of State High School Associations and other organizations mandate that lacrosse helmets meet the NOCSAE® standard. NOCSAE has advised them of its conclusions and anticipates that each organization will notify its members of this decision.
NOCSAE® has been advised that Warrior and Cascade are working to address this issue, and it is anticipated that each will develop a procedure to assist players and teams who use these models.

NOCSAE Voiding of Certification For Sensor-Equipped Helmets: A Big Blow To Player Safety
Last week many of the technology manufacturers who have been working
diligently to produce products to make helmeted sports such as football
safer were dealt a severe, if not crippling, blow by the National
Operating Committee on Standards for Athletic Equipment (NOCSAE) when,
out of the blue, it decided to view
modification of helmets with third-party after-market add-ons as voiding its certification, which could only be regained if
the helmet is retested with the add-on.
As is discussed in great depth in my companion article,
NOCSAE’s July 16, 2013 decision, which it said was made in order to
“protect the integrity” of its helmet standards, was greeted with
predictable enthusiasm by helmet manufacturers
(whose licensing fees fund NOCSAE and who understandably are interested in the standard), but has beem heavily criticized,
not just by the companies affected, particularly those in the emerging
field of helmet impact sensors, but by football safety advocates, and at
least one national football organization, all of whom see the ruling as a
severe setback to their collective efforts to improve concussion safety
through technological innovation.
Unique perspective
As someone who has been writing about and following the concussion issue
for many years, and as the producer and director of the new high school
football concussion documentary, “The Smartest Team: Making High School Football Safer”,
I have been in the unique position of having direct, first-hand
experience with with all football helmets and helmet impact sensor technology, and of having addressed
the issue of whether the addition of such sensors to a football helmet
would likely void the NOCSAE certification and manufacturer’s warranty.
I have followed with interest developments over the last few years in the emerging field of impact sensors: small microchip-sized accelerometers and gyroscopes embedded in mouth guards, chin straps, skull caps, ear buds, skin patches and attached to the inside and outside of helmets which, in either send data to sideline personnel or flash an alert about a heavy hit.
By my count, there are now 9 companies with sensor products that have already come on the market, or are in the product development pipeline
- i1Biometrics’ Hammerhead mouth guard
- MC10/Reebok’s Check Light (hangs from a skull cap)
- Riddell’s InSite Impact Response System (NOCSAE-certified)
- Impackt Protective’s Shockbox (inside helmet)
- Brain Sentry (affixed to the back of helmet)
- gForce tracker (affixed to the outside of helmet)
- X2 Biosystems’ X Patch (patch behind the ear)
- Safe Brain (quarter-sized sensor inserted in helmet)
- Battle Sports’ Impact Indicator (chin strap).
Impact sensor technology, while still obviously in its infancy, holds out the promise, in my view and that of many others, of becoming the most significant advance in concussion safety, ever. For those of us who devote our lives to keeping sports active children safe, impact sensors have the potential to provide staunch opponents of collision sports such as football a chance to reconsider whether they can be made safer by solving one of the most pressing and chronic problems in concussion safety: the chronic underreporting of concussion by athletes; what a new report from the Institute of Medicine and National Research Council calls a “culture of resistance.”
After following closely developments in the impact sensor area for a
number of years, and believing that this cutting edge technology had the
potential to revolutionize the sideline identification of concussion in
contact and collision sports and combat the chronic underreporting of concussions by athletes (which a new study has just shown persists, despite increased education), we decided to beta test the Shockbox football helmet sensor (one of the sensors nearing market launch). Our plan in the summer of 2012 was to
equip new Schutt football helmets worn by several of the football players
on the Newcastle, Oklahoma high school team with Shockbox sensors for beta testing over the
course of the 2012 season.
When liability and warranty concerns were raised, both by the school’s
attorney and by Schutt, we moved swiftly to address them by having a
Shockbox-equipped Schutt helmet drop-tested at Schutt’s testing
facility. After the testing showed that the insertion of the 3 1/2
ounce sensor in a space between the interior padding of the Schutt helmet did
not in any way effect its performance characteristics, Schutt was able
to assure the school that the helmet modification did not void its
warranty, and we were able to proceed with the beta test.
USPA-APPROVED NOCSAE HELMET VARIANCES EXTENDED THROUGH DECEMBER 31, 2021
©David Murrell.
As of May 1, 2021, USPA Members must wear NOCSAE-compliant helmets in all actual outdoor and arena polo games at USPA Member Clubs, not just USPA Events.
The USPA Rules Committee has learned that some USPA Members and some USPA Member Clubs mistakenly believe that NOCSAE-compliant helmets need only be worn in USPA Events. That is a misconception. NOCSAE-compliant helmets must be worn in all actual outdoor and arena polo games (not including practice games) at USPA Member Clubs, not just USPA Events and not just games umpired by USPA professional Umpires. All actual games.
These rules apply to you unless you qualify for one of the existing variances and you have signed the applicable USPA Waiver and Acknowledgement.
USPA Outdoor Rule 4a and USPA Arena Rule3a(2) each state that, “[n]o player may participate in any USPA Event or Club Event in anything other than a proper uniform, including a protective helmet with a chin strap, which must be worn in the appropriate manner specified by the manufacturer of the helmet. . . . Effective May 1, 2021, the protective helmet required by this rule for players must be certified to meet the NOCSAE ND050 Standard Performance Specification for Newly Manufactured Polo Helmets.”
The terms “USPA Event” and “Club Event” are each defined in Part I of the USPA Tournament Conditions, and these definitions make clear that every actual polo game is either a Club Event or a USPA Event. The USPA Rules and Tournament Conditions apply to all USPA Members and at all USPA Member Clubs. And both USPA Outdoor Rule 11b and USPA Arena Rule 1d state that “no USPA Member Club or Host Tournament Committee may adopt any variance” from the rules requiring NOCSAE-compliant helmets.
USPA Members and USPA Member Clubs each agree annually to comply with all USPA rules and policies. Thus, if you are a USPA Member, you must wear a NOCSAE-compliant helmet in all actual polo games, both outdoor and arena. And if you run a USPA Member Club, you must require your players to wear NOCSAE-compliant helmets in all actual polo games, both outdoor and arena.
As of December 31, 2021, there will be only three USPA-approved variances from the NOCSAE-compliant helmet rules.
Due to delays in production and shipping the Executive Committee has decided to extend USPA-approved NOCSAE helmet variances through December 31, 2021.
Casablanca and Charles Owen have assured the USPA that all existing orders for NOCSAE-compliant helmets will be filled by December 31, 2021. For that reason, the USPA Executive Committee has decided to terminate all existing variances from USPA Outdoor Rule 4.a and USPA Arena Rule 3.a(2) – the NOCSAE-compliant helmet rules which took effect on May 1, 2021 – except for the three variances set out below, which are now in effect and will remain in effect:
First, any new Member who joined the USPA for the first time on or after May 1, 2021, or who rejoined the USPA on or after that date following an absence of at least two years, and who does not possess a NOCSAE-compliant helmet, may nevertheless participate in a USPA Event or Club Event using a protective helmet that is not a NOCSAE-compliant helmet, if he or she provides definitive proof that on a date within 30 days of joining or re-joining the USPA but no more than six months previously, he or she ordered a NOCSAE-compliant helmet which has not yet been delivered, provided that each such affected USPA Member first executes in writing (a) a waiver of liability in favor of the USPA and its Member Clubs for any claims that might arise from the use of a helmet that is not a NOCSAE-compliant helmet, and (b) an acknowledgment that this variance will expire as to him or her when the NOCSAE-compliant helmet he or she has ordered is delivered.
Second, any USPA Member who can demonstrate that he or she does in fact possess a NOCSAE-compliant helmet that has been damaged, and who provides definitive proof that he or she has ordered another NOCSAE-compliant helmet no more than six months previously, which has not yet been delivered, may nevertheless participate in a USPA Event or Club Event using a protective helmet that is not a NOCSAE-compliant helmet, provided that each such affected USPA Member first executes in writing (a) a waiver of liability in favor of the USPA and its Member Clubs for any claims that might arise from the use of a helmet that is not a NOCSAE-compliant helmet, and (b) an acknowledgment that the variance will expire as to him or her when the NOCSAE-compliant helmet he or she has ordered is delivered. (Note that this variance can be applied when a NOCSAE-compliant helmet is damaged during a game to allow the USPA Member to finish the game in a non-compliant helmet, provided that each such affected USPA Member (1) agrees to promptly provide after the game proof of purchase for a new NOCSAE-compliant helmet, and (2) executes in writing (a) a waiver of liability in favor of the USPA and its Member Clubs for any claims that might arise from the use of a helmet that is not a NOCSAE-compliant helmet, and (b) an acknowledgment that the variance will expire as to him or her when the NOCSAE-compliant helmet he or she is ordering has been delivered.)
Third, any USPA member who is age 13 years old or younger and whose head is not large enough to use a currently commercially available NOCSAE Compliant Helmet may nevertheless participate in a USPA Event or Club Event using a protective helmet that is not a NOCSAE Compliant Helmet, provided that (1) this proposed variance will expire when two NOCSAE Compliant Helmets are commercially available in a smaller size that fits the affected USPA Member; (2) that each such affected USPA Member’s parent or guardian first executes in writing (a) a waiver of liability and (b) an acknowledgment that the variance for their child or ward will expire when two NOCSAE Compliant Helmets are commercially available in a size that fits the affected USPA Member and the child or ward is able to take delivery of one such promptly purchased NOCSAE Compliant Helmet; (3) the non-compliant helmet is always worn with a chin strap and in the appropriate manner specified by the helmet manufacturer; and (4) the affected USPA Member uses appropriate eye protection (i.e., a facemask or safety goggles).
If you have any questions about how the NOCSAE-compliant helmet rules apply to you or your club, or about how any existing variances may apply to you, please contact USPA Membership and Handicap Director Lindsay Dolan for clarification. But remember, NOCSAE-compliant helmets must be worn in all actual outdoor and arena polo games (not including practice games) at USPA Member Clubs, not just USPA Events and not just games umpired by USPA professional Umpires. All actual games.
The USPA would like to share the following information regarding the changes to the USPA Helmet Requirements (Outdoor Rule 4 and Arena Rule 3). As of May 1, 2021 players participating in USPA Events and Club Events, which include any USPA National, Circuit or Sanctioned tournament or league, any Intercollegiate/Interscholastic or National Youth Tournament Series event, as well as any club-level game, league or tournament, will be required to wear helmets that pass the NOCSAE ND050 Polo Helmet Standard. Over the past several years, the USPA Safety Committee has done extensive research on polo helmet safety and has consulted with experts in the departments of bio engineering, sports safety, and liability. In the fall of 2017, the Safety Committee recommended that the Board adopt a rule requiring players to wear a helmet that meets the NOCSAE Polo Helmet Standard to help to reduce the possibility of brain injury. The Board approved the changes to the USPA Rules to take effect May 1, 2021. The Board will continue to monitor the availability of helmets that meet the NOCSAE standard. Please review the following information and feel free to reach out to USPA Membership and Handicap Director Lindsay Dolan at [email protected] should you have any questions.
- NOCSAE is an independent and nonprofit standards development body that has certification standards for football, baseball, lacrosse, hockey, soccer and many other sports. They are also the only organization that has a certification standard that is specific to the sport of polo. In addition, participants in the SEI certification program must hold a valid license agreement with NOCSAE.
- In order to receive SEI (Safety Equipment Institute) Certification for ND050 Polo Helmets, manufacturers must pass physical testing of their product, have an on-site audit of their manufacturing facility, have an approved recall procedure, and must maintain $2 million product liability insurance.
- The Virginia Tech Helmet lab conducted a review of standards for evaluating helmet performance. In doing so, they compared the following standards: NOCSAE ND050, PAS 015:2001 with BSI Kitemark, VG1 01.040-2014 with BSI Kitemark, (BS) EN 1384:2017 with CE mark, AS/NZS 3838: 2006, ASTM F1163, and Snell E2001. Following their review, the Virginia Tech Helmet lab recommended the NOCSAE ND050 standard above all of the others. To review the findings, please see the following link: https://www.uspolo.org/assets/pdf/Virginia-Tech-Polo-Standards.pdf
- Currently, the Instinct Askari, Casablanca NEU and the Charles Owen Sovereign are the only helmets that pass the NOCSAE Polo Standard and the standard required by the Hurlingham Polo Association. As additional helmets that pass the NOCSAE Polo Standard become available, they will be added to the list of approved helmets.
- Eye protection, such as a facemask must be deemed as an “authorized accessory” by the helmet manufacturer. If the facemask is an “authorized accessory” then it does not void the certification. However, if the end user applies a facemask that is not the helmet manufacturer’s “authorized accessory,” then the NOCSAE/SEI Certification would be void.
- Armis does not currently produce a helmet that pass the NOCSAE ND050 standard. The USPA conducted preliminary testing in 2017, and at that time there were no helmets that passed the NOCSAE ND050 Standard. In order to obtain this certification, manufacturers will need to develop new helmets or revise current helmet designs to meet the standard.
- Manufacturers may offer discounts to USPA Members, youth players, and for bulk orders. Please contact the manufacturers directly for additional information.
- The USPA is not directly affiliated with any helmet manufacturer and manufacturers have the ability to set their own pricing and may offer discounts.
- Generic riding helmets, which may pass other standards such as the ASTM F1163 Equestrian standard, undergo a different testing protocol and must be replaced after a single impact. Notably, the NOCSAE ND050 testing is designed specifically for the sport of Polo and accounts for multiple impacts which occur from the rider falling, being struck with a mallet or ball or coming in contact with another player. It is also important to note that MIPS (Multi-Directional Impact Protection System) technology is not required for the NOCSAE ND050 standard.
NTS’ Chesapeake Testing Approved by SEI for NOCSAE Certification Program
August 29, 2016
Congratulations to our Chesapeake Testing Services division which has recently entered into agreement with Safety Equipment Institute (SEI) to conduct SEI NOCSAE Certification program testing.
NOCSAE, the National Operating Committee on Standards for Athletic Equipment, was formed to commission research directed toward injury prevention, particularly head and neck injuries in football, and published its first test standard in 1973. Today, both the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) and the National Federation of State High School Associations require the use of helmets certified to the NOCSAE standard.
In 2015, NOCSAE began requiring third-party certification for athletic equipment to meet NOCSAE standards. In order to achieve certification, manufacturers must contract with SEI, the independent accredited certification body for the NOCSAE standards. SEI, has audited and approved Chesapeake Testing for the performance of the testing required for the NOCSAE approval.
Chesapeake Testing is an ISO/IEC 17025 A2LA accredited laboratory with a broad testing scope covering NOCSAE standards as well as a wide variety of other products.
“We are very excited to receive the approval from SEI,” stated Dr. Erin Hanlon, Head of Sports Technology and Biomedical Engineering at Chesapeake Testing “we are already receiving inquiries for testing and are looking forward to helping these clients to ensure the safety of athletes everywhere.”
Chesapeake Testing was founded in 2006 as a body armor testing lab operating two indoor firing ranges. Today, it is one of the twenty-seven fully accredited and internationally recognized state-of-the-art testing laboratories in the NTS network. In addition to athletic equipment testing, the facility boasts eight indoor firing ranges specializing in testing ballistic and armor protection systems.
Modified Drop Tower Impact Tests for American Football Helmets
Motivation
The main objective of this modified drop tower test method is to more closely represent the impact of the American football helmet system on the field of impact and to help expand safety standards. The entailed test method can provide the knowledge of systematic response helmets necessary for the effective development of a reinforced headgear to prevent concussion. The occurrence of concussions is plagued by contact sports such as American football.In the United States alone, sports-related concussions are estimated to occur 1.6 to 3.8 million times each year. 1 A soccer player can have over 1500 head impacts each season. 2, 3 While the magnitude of most exposures can be sub-Shocking, the accumulation of these exposures can lead to long-term brain damage due to exposure to an induced neurodegenerative disease known as chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE). 4 CTE is associated with the accumulation of tau protein in the brain, resulting in memory loss, behavior and personality changes, Parkinson’s syndrome, and speech and gait abnormalities that sometimes lead to suicide. 5 Football helmets have made several technological advances over the past 15 years, but even today the most modern helmets do not completely cushion all the falling forces on the helmet and therefore athletes still suffer concussions. A study by Barch and et al. 6 showed that in many cases supervisor exposure dose and traumatic brain injury risks, while in dark vintage Leatherhead helmets were comparable to those worn widely used 21 – century helmets illustrating the need for improved development and testing standards of football helmets. In particular, the NOCSAE 7 certification does not require a large helmet to be included in the helmet drop test. The added rigidity from the tone of a large helmet attached to the helmet would drastically change the overall mechanical response.The present study proposes a method to provide more robust helmet safety standards that will serve as a driving force to promote safer helmet design.
Background
Head Injury Metrics
The exact biological mechanisms associated with concussions remain unidentified. Although much has been done in an attempt to quantify the tolerances of head injury for various measures of injury, disagreement has arisen in the biomedical community regarding these criteria.These mechanisms of injury must relate to multiple individuals: linear acceleration, rotational acceleration, exposure duration, and impulse. 8, 9, 10, 11 Several Injury criteria were used to define contusion as a measure of linear acceleration. Wayne State Tolerance Curve (WSTC) 12, 13, 14 was designed to predict skull fracture for frontal impact car accidents by defining the threshold curve for linear acceleration versus duration of exposure.The WSTC served as the basis for other injury criteria such as the Severity Index (SI) 11 and the Head Injury Criterion (HIC), 15 , which are the two most commonly used criteria. SI and HIC as a measure of severity impact based on weighted integrals of linear time acceleration profiles. While these criteria define threshold values for linear acceleration, other criteria have been proposed to account for rotational acceleration, such as the head impact power index. 8, 10, 16 Today’s helmet testing standards often use an injury criterion based on the Wayne State to have alerance curve (namely ICC or SI), or peak acceleration criterion, or in some cases both. While some changes are needed to add angular acceleration to the standard performance criteria, linear based acceleration criteria remain dominant.
In this study, the metrics used to assess the relative safety that each helmet provided were apex of the resulting values for acceleration, SI, and SVD.Of these indicators, only SI is used for evaluation in the current National Working Committee for Standards for Sports Equipment (NOCSAE) Football Helmet Standards. SI is based on the following equation,
(1)
where A is the translational acceleration of the center of gravity (CG) of the head, and T is the acceleration time. 11, 17 SI were calculated according to the standards NOCSAE 18, where the calculation is limited to 4 G thresholds according to the resulting acceleration curve.The SVD values were calculated according to the following equation,
(2)
where a translational acceleration CG of the head and t 1 and t 2 represent the start and end times, respectively, of the interval at which the HIC reaches its maximum value. All values of CTG calculated in this study were MKH 36, where the duration of the time interval is limited to 36 ms.
NOCSAE Football Helmet Test Standards
NOCSAE Overview
In 1969 NOCSAE was formed to develop performance standards for American football helmets / faceguards and other sports equipment with the aim of reducing sports injuries. 1 7 The NOCSAE Football Helmet Standards were developed by Dr. Voigt Hodgson 9 Wayne State University to reduce head injuries by establishing attenuation and structural integrity requirements for football helmets / faceguards. These standards include football helmet test certification and annual recertification procedures for helmets. In 2015, NOCSAE implemented a quality assurance program requiring the use of a specific American National Standards Institute (ANSI) accredited helmet certification body.
Test Method NOCSAE
NOCSAE Football Helmet The standard does not include testing helmets with faceguards, as this requires their removal before helmet drops are carried out. NOCSAE helmet test standards 17 use a two-wire drop crusher that relies on gravity to accelerate the dummy helmet combination to the required impact speeds. NOCSAE head model with instrumental shIth triaxial accelerometers at the center of gravity. The combination of a dummy head and helmet is then dropped at specific speeds onto a steel anvil covered with a 12.7 mm thick ebonite Modular Elastomer Programmer (MEP) pad.On impact, the instantaneous acceleration is recorded and the SI values are calculated. These SI values are compared with the pass / fail criterion for a variety of required exposure locations and speeds and temperatures, including the environment and high exposure temperatures. If the obtained SI value for any impact violates the threshold, the helmet will not pass the test.
A separate standard test method is used for the certification of the football big helmet. The NOCSAE Football Grand Slam standard includes an analysis of structural integrity as well as an assessment of the impact of the attenuation characteristics of the helmet and chin strap of their attachment system.Each exposure measurement must be below 1200 SI in order to pass the test, without facial contact and without intermittent failure of any component as defined by the NOCSAE standard. 19
There is a proposed optional NOCSAE (Linear Impact (LI)) test 20 , which includes a helmet with a Grand Slam, but it is not suitable for certification of a football helmet because it cannot recognize the influence of the crown. LI uses a pneumatic ram to act on the helmet, located on the NOCSAE dummy equipped with a hybrid III dummy neck mounted on a linear bearing table in order to induce angular acceleration.For this reason, the LI test is an optional test to the current two-wire NOCSAE drop test procedures and is not a replacement. 20, 21 Instead of testing LI, we suggest simply adding two more scenarios to the current two-wire drop test procedure.
The NOCSAE Standard Test Method for Certification of Football Helmets currently includes six Locations Prescribed Impact and one Random Impact Location.Prescribed exposure locations include the following: Front (F), Front Boss (FB), Side (S), Rear (R), Rear Boss (RB), and Top (T). The random exposure location test can select a region from anywhere within the helmet’s defined acceptable exposure area. Impact locations for our modified NOCSAE tower drop tests include replacing the previously identified Front and Front Boss impact locations with what has been named as Front Top (FT) and Front Top Boss impact locations (PTB).Our front-top and front Top Boss impact points are identical to the impact points and right frontal Boss of the NOCSAE standard for Lacrosse helmets, which also includes a large helmet for drop tests. 22 The helmet shell impact locations, including the replaced front and front Boss seats, are depicted in figure 1. In addition, the modified helmet test method of our present study includes two Impac Grand Slam seats, which were named FG front and FG to bottom.The two impact locations for the Grand Slam are identical to the required impact locations for the current NOCSAE Grand Slam certification procedures. The eight impact locations for the modified NOCSAE impact tests of this study are shown in Figure 2

Six currently required NOCSAE impact helmet drop test seats, Front (F), Front Boss (FB), Side (S), Top (T), Rear (R), and Rear Boss (RB), plus two seats the impacts are projected, Front Top (FT) and Front Top Boss (PTB).Note: The NOCSAE Standard Test Method for Safety Helmets does not include the Front Top and Front Top Boss Impact Locations (shown in red) and for this study, they replace the Front and Front Boss Impact Locations.

Helmet designs have evolved progressively over the past decade, while NOCSAE’s soccer helmet standards have never included a large helmet with the ELMET in evaluating the technical performance of a soccer helmet.Although, more recently, an amendment has been made to include a pass / fail value of 300 SI for low impact velocities (3.46 m / s), the total credit / fail limit of 1200 SI has not changed since 1997 17 Until 1997, NOCSAE used 1500 SI Pass / Fail criterion. Hodgson and et al. (1970) showed that SI values of over 1000 are life-threatening, while SI values of 540 produced linear skull fractures in non-cadaveric impact test helmets. 23 Most modern football helmets have shown to pass well below the 1200 SI limit, but not all below 540 SI.

90,000 Storelli ExoShield Football Helmet – # 1 Virginia Tech Ranking ASTM
CLINICAL DATA *
In a two-year NOCSAE-funded field study conducted by the University of Wisconsin at Madison with ~ 3,000 high school soccer players, Storelli ExoShield’s Head Guard reduced the relative risk of concussion by about 50% overall and 60% in women (97- Statistical Confidence Ratio 98%).Of all the products included in the study, ExoShield Head Guard was the only product that showed any statistically significant benefits.
To access the relevant data, click HER for product level results and HER for wider paper. To read the blog post on soccer headgear data (and open-ended questions), click HERE
The above study is the largest field study ever undertaken on this topic.While the results achieved by Head Guard Storelli ExoShield are very encouraging, Storelli believes more research is needed to strengthen the industry’s understanding of the value of headwear. For this reason, we are working to do more research.
In addition, Storelli tries to emphasize that while high-quality hats can actually reduce the relative risk of concussion, they will never completely reduce the risks. For example, a player may suffer a concussion after being struck on a part of the face not covered by the headgear, or the blow may be too strong to be sufficiently absorbed by the protection.We believe we are taking positive steps in the right direction, but it is important to understand the limitations of head protection capabilities and the need for deeper analysis of the data.
WARNING AND DISCLAIMER
The
Head Guard is designed to reduce the risk of cuts and blows to the head while playing football, but cannot and does not prevent all risk of head injuries. Participation in football and other sports puts the participant at risk of injury, and participation in such sports involves accepting such risk.
No helmet, headgear or head protector can prevent any kind of injury to the head, neck or face. The user may experience head injuries (which may include concussion or other brain-related injuries) despite the fact that he or she is using a head shield, and there are areas of the head and face that are not covered or protected by the head shield. In addition, for maximum performance, the head shield must be properly sized and fitted and replaced immediately if it looses or falls off over time while participating in football or other sports.
