The gear has to be checked for breaks and tears at each point.
I'm mainly stressing over gloves; because there are legitimate issues when non-standard gloves are used.

The requirements you list are the same requirements that amateur boxing has and I've never even heard of an event where USA Boxing didn't supply gloves. I believe the on-site medical staff usually wipes the gloves down, inside and out, with sanitary wipes, quick process.

Headgear, shin guards, and chest guards are a completely different story.
Headgear should be USA Boxing certified.
The other 2 should have some sort of consensus as to what's acceptable.
