Clarification on the EC & ASTM Goggle standards
Point 5.2.1. of the WPBO Rules says that the goggle systems used by people entering a paintball field, including but not limited to paintball players, staff and referees, must be manufactured for paintball use, in good repair and with undamaged lenses.
These goggles must meet or exceed EC & ASTM Standards. Among other things, the EC & ASTM Standards outline the mandatory use of the chin strap for safety reasons:
Use of the Chin Strap
In order to make this part of the Rules clear for everyone, we remind all the players that using EC & ASTM approved goggles fitted with the manufacturer's chin strap is mandatory.
We also ask Referees and Tournament Officials to pay more attention to the enforcement and proper use of EC & ASTM approved goggles.
