NATIONAL FOREWORD

This Indian Standard (Part 7) which is identical with ISO 21924-7 : 2017 ‘Protective equipment for martial arts - Part 7: Additional requirements and test methods for hand and foot protectors’ issued by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards on recommendation of the Sports Goods Sectional Committee and approval of the Production and General Engineering Division Council.

Protective equipment for martial arts is mainly designed for use in unarmed martial arts, such as taekwondo, karate, kick-boxing and similar disciplines. Hand and foot protectors are used in martial arts to protect the hand or the foot of the user from injuries when strikes are executed against persons or objects by the hand or the foot. This document specifies additional requirements and test methods for hand and foot protectors which are used in unarmed martial arts, including boxing, for strikes against other persons or training equipment.
