Date on FIE equipment

[Ortsac]

I know this topic has been here before. I just can't find it. How old can your equipment be ( blades and uniform ) to be accepted in international competitions?

Limit on blades is five years for FIE A-grade competitions. There isn't a limit on uniforms, but FIE masks which are one year old or less can be passed without punch test-- masks over one year old are legit if they pass punch.
