​​Armorers are the unsung heroes behind the scenes, ensuring the safety and efficacy of fencing equipment. There are three main types:
​
  1. Personal/Club Equipment Armorers: These experts focus on maintaining and verifying the functionality and competition readiness of a fencer's personal gear, as detailed in the "Materials" section of the rulebook
  2. Tournament Armorers: Their primary role involves pre-competition equipment control and resolving equipment issues during tournaments
  3. International Team Armorers: These specialists handle the equipment needs of fencers at international events, ensuring compliance with global standards
