Fencing Clothing Regulations from 1st January 2006
From January new regulations regarding fencing clothing come into effect. These regulations stipulate:
- All clothing including jackets worn during fencing must be of at least 350 Newton resistance.
- Underplastrons must be worn while fencing with a size 3 or larger electric blade (effectively all club fencing) this must be of at least 800 N resistance.
- Breeches (350 N) must be worn for all electric fencing with a size 3 or larger blade. Even for non electric fencing all openings/pockets must be zipped, sewn or taped closed. Long socks will also be needed with breaches.
- Masks must satisfy CEN 1 standard, with a 350 N bib.
Should a fencer be injured while not wearing approved kit, any Insurance held by the fencer or the Club will be invalidated.
These regulations are being introduced to increase the safety of Fencing and therefore are to be welcomed.
