PB goggles are a totally different thing.

They fall under ASTM certification.

ESS on the other hand, although probably could get ASTM certification don't have it. They instead follow some Milspec standard. I'll try to see what the exact standard is.

Also, ANSI Z87 is NOT equal to the ASTM rating for PB goggles. PB goggles are supposed to be designed to withstand up to an 11 Joule or more strike, while Z87 is much less (I've done the math and it's something like withstanding at minimum a 6 Joule strike).

Even if you had the milspec goggles (which can stand up to a 50 cal or whatever) it's still not ASTM standard and if the PB fields insurance company found out they may choose to not renew their insurance coverage and/or make them pay a higher premium (and are fully within their right to deny any insurance claims because there is a "culture of non compliance" or something like that).

PS: If an event is goggles only then that usually means you can detach the mask part but you should probably keep it in the car just incase there's a mixup and crossed communications or something like that.
