As part of becoming a recognised sport the International Pole Sports Federation is committed to increasing safety and continuity within pole sports. The IPSF has created a programme of certification that will be developed over the next three years in order to test and improve the safety of equipment required at all IPSF competitions and events.
The document outlines the IPSF Apparatus Norm's for Pole Sports for the competitive year 2016/17 which begins on 1st September 2015. These include both pole and truss specification for the coming year. Please be advised that all IPSF recognised competitions will be required to use the IPSF Apparatus Norms for all competitions in 2016/17. This includes using the pole and truss specifications listed. If you have any questions regarding the IPSF Apparatus Norms please contact us.
