(Practice)Standard Practice for Functional Inspections and Adjustments of Alpine Ski/Binding/Boot Systems
Standard Practice for Functional Inspections and Adjustments of Alpine Ski/Binding/Boot Systems
SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
4.1 The purpose of this practice is to aid in providing the end user with an appropriately functioning system with appropriate release torque setting(s).
4.2 The definitions and tolerances defined in this practice do not necessarily apply to procedures incorporating an inspection interval or schedule, in which such procedures are specified by the binding manufacturer. This practice is not intended to be a method for evaluating equipment design.
Note 2: Refer to Practice F1064 for definitions and tolerances pertaining to the evaluation of equipment once in use.
SCOPE
1.1 This practice provides procedures for inspection and adjustment of alpine ski/binding/boot systems.
1.2 This practice should be followed for systems, whether newly mounted or previously mounted, when work is performed on the system that may affect its release function, unless otherwise specified by the binding manufacturer in non-rental applications.
1.3 Nonapplicability of this function and release inspection practice to rental shop operations is based upon the existence of applicable ASTM practices.
Note 1: Refer to Practice F1064 for equivalent procedures and tolerances for complete and incomplete rental systems.
1.4 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.
1.5 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.

it may not be technically possible to adequately depict all changes accurately, ASTM recommends that users consult prior editions as appropriate. In all cases only the current version

INTRODUCTION
Adhering to these guidelines may help reduce the risk of injuries resulting from improper
mechanical functioning of releasable alpine binding systems. Skiing involves inherent risks and injury
can result from simply falling down, impact with an object, or from many other actions. Many injuries
are unrelated to system function and a properly functioning system cannot protect the skier in all
situations. Compliance with these guidelines in no way guarantees that injury will be prevented.

3.1 Definitions:
3.1.1 clean versus lubricated tolerance—accepted difference between clean and lubricated test results, defined as not more than
20 % of the clean test, used whenever a functional test for binding-boot compatibility is required (see 6.3).
3.1.2 clockwise versus counterclockwise tolerance—accepted difference between test results about an axis perpendicular to the
plane of the ski, usually from the toe piece component, and defined as within the inspection tolerance.
3.1.3 corrective action—procedures other than readjustment of the visual indicator setting (see 3.1.18) to include repair or
replacement of system components.
