Additional Info
What Does it Mean To Be IPF Approved?
When a product, such as knee sleeves, is IPF Approved, it means it has been tested and certified by the International Powerlifting Federation (IPF) to meet their strict standards for use in official competitions. This approval ensures that the product adheres to the federation's technical rules, providing athletes with fair and consistent equipment options during competition.
IPF Standards for Knee Sleeves:
Material Requirements:
IPF-approved knee sleeves are made from a single layer of neoprene or neoprene with a thin, non-supportive fabric layer. They must not provide any additional support, rebound, or performance enhancement beyond the lifter’s strength.
Size and Construction:
Maximum thickness: 7 mm
Maximum length: 30 cm
Continuous cylindrical design with no additional features such as Velcro, drawstrings, or padding. Sleeves must not have holes or gaps and cannot include extra supportive devices.
Placement and Usage:
Sleeves must be worn only on the knees and centred over the knee joint.
They cannot come into contact with the lifter's suit or socks during competition.
Lifters cannot wear knee sleeves in combination with knee wraps.
Approved Manufacturer:
Only products from manufacturers on the IPF’s Approved List of Apparel and Equipment are allowed in competition. Even if a manufacturer is approved, the knee sleeves must still comply with all detailed technical rules to be eligible.
