Equipment homologation
Public register →Manufacturers apply, the federation tests and certifies competition equipment (boule & cochonnet). Approved equipment is published in the public equipment register (synced hourly) and can be verified with QR at competition. Venues are homologated separately under Homologation & requirement profiles.
