Then again, there are no standards for other protective equipment, like cups, chest guards, and athletic glasses/goggles. So I suppose it's no big deal that face masks don't have one either...

Someone isn't going to set a standard just for the hell of it. Takes a lot of testing and time and probably some funding. ASTM is a business and probably isn't going to take any equipment to task with being given parameters to which to test.
