EYE PROTECTION                                                Updated 29th Sep 2008

PROTECTIVE EYEWEAR FOR SINGLES
Although the risk of injury in squash is low, it is recommended that protective eye guards, manufactured to an appropriate National Standard, are worn properly over the eyes at all times during play. It is the responsibility of the player to ensure that the quality of the product worn is satisfactory for the purpose.

Recommended eye guards are those that have undergone stringent testing and have been passed as suitable for squash by the National Standards Associations for Racquet Sport Eye Protection of Canada, England, Australia and the United States.

FOR DOUBLES
Although the risk of injury in Squash is very low it is required in the Rules of Squash that, in Doubles, protective eye guards manufactured to an appropriate National Safety Standard are worn properly over the eyes at all times during play. It is the responsibility of the player to ensure that the quality of the product worn is satisfactory for the purpose. National Standards for Racket Sport Eye Protection are published by the Canadian Standards Association, the United States ASTM, Standards Australia/New Zealand and British Standards Institution.

The National Standards available for Squash are as follows:

  • Australia/New Zealand - AS/NZS 4066
  • British - BS7930.1
  • Canada - CSA P400
  • United States - ASTM F803
