If you would like to review more standards on this topic, please see our page Document Center List of Standards on Sports Equipment and Facilities. It will have links to six other pages with more narrowly defined criteria (winter sports, indoor sports, and so on).
Face it -- Nike is heading to the Dow Jones and sports is big business! When hot topics like player safety come to mind, remember it's sport standards that do a lot of the heavy lifting to make sports safer and fairer.
You'll find standards here from the large standards developing organizations -- ASTM International, BS the British Standards Institute, and DIN, the German Standards body. But there are also smaller niche players developing standards as well. The American National Standards Committee B77, which develops the ANSI B77.1, comes to mind.
And I also wanted to mention that the EN standards are published by all of the European Union countries in their own national adoptions as they get implemented in each jurisdiction. So you will see multiple editions of the EN standards listed above, depending on what country releases the publication. The core EN standard remains the same in all printings, however, the language (English, French, or German) can differ.
