(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
SCOPE
1.1 This practice covers the functional and release inspection of ski/binding/boot systems.
1.2 This practice should be followed for systems, whether newly mounted or used, whenever 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.

This standard is issued under the fixed designation F 1063; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year of
original adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. A
superscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.
INTRODUCTION
The intent of this practice is to provide guidelines for performing functional inspections and
adjustments ofAlpine ski/binding/boot systems.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.
