(Practice)Standard Practice for Sampling and Inspection of Complete and Incomplete Alpine Ski/Binding/Boot Systems in Rental Applications
Standard Practice for Sampling and Inspection of Complete and Incomplete Alpine Ski/Binding/Boot Systems in Rental Applications
SCOPE
1.1 This practice establishes a uniform method for the sampling and inspection of complete and incomplete Alpine ski/binding/boot systems used in rental operations. This practice is appropriate for use in rental applications in which all or part of the functional components of the system are supplied by the rental facility.
1.2 This practice should be followed by any facility that rents complete or incomplete Alpine ski/binding/boot systems to an end user.
Note 1—Refer to Practice F 1063 for equivalent procedures and tolerances for retail systems.

superscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.
INTRODUCTION
Adhering to these guidelines may help to reduce the risk of injuries resulting from improper
mechanical functioning of releasable binding systems. However, skiing involves inherent and other
risks. Injury can result from simply falling down, impact with an object, or from many other actions.
Many injuries are unrelated to system function. Furthermore, even a properly functioning system
cannot protect the skier in all situations. Therefore, it is to be clearly understood that compliance with
these guidelines in no way guarantees that injury can be prevented.
