From this site, pickleball players are able to view USA Pickleball approved paddles and balls. Manufacturers are able to submit paddles and balls for testing and certification by the USA Pickleball.

In addition to contracting with NTS for testing services, USA Pickleball has established the Equipment Evaluation Committee (EEC), which is led by the USA Pickleball Managing Director of Competition and consists of two individuals with engineering backgrounds and diverse experience in sports. The EEC evaluates manufacturer’s prototypes and new product introductions, which may use new shapes, configurations, or surface treatments.

2021 Equipment Standards Manual

The USA Pickleball Equipment Standards Manual contains equipment rules, specifications, and testing details that had previously been contained within the USA Pickleball Official Rulebook. This new document was created in an effort to make the USA Pickleball Official Rulebook more user-friendly while providing a stand-alone document that addresses specific details that pertain to the manufacturing of pickleball equipment.

The content contained within both the USA Pickleball Official Rulebook and the Equipment Standards Manual is considered to be the official rules of USA Pickleball and the International Pickleball Federation (IFP).
