FIE RULES FOR COMPETITIONS

Book 1 Part 1 Ch 4 Responsibility for Fencers
t.15 Fencers arm, equip and clothe themselves and fence on their own responsibility and at their own risk. The safety measures and methods of control laid down in the present rules are designed to supplement the fencers’ safety and cannot guarantee it. They cannot, therefore, involve responsibility either of the FlE or of the organisations, or of those who may cause the accident.

Book 3 Part 1 Ch 3 Checking of Fencers Equipment
m.37 In all official FIE competitions the fencers are responsible for their equipment (including weapons and clothes) now they present themselves on the piste. Blades, masks and clothing must carry the label of guarantee specified in the safety standards annexed to these rules. The forms of checking laid down by these rules are only intended to help organisers who must apply the Rules and fencers who must always respect the Rules. These checks can, therefore, in no way absolve any fencers who break the Rules from responsibility.
