That apparently only applies to 2015 manufacturing, but how do we tell when manufactured and does "manufactured" mean mask fabricating or mask attachment to the helmet?
And:
" In reality as long as it says "meets NOCSAE Standard" you're good to go. The point is, when the new ones start surfacing and you see the different wording, don't be alarmed- they are all legal. No issues between either wording. "

IOW, no need to know 2015 or older.
