ASTM F1062-97

Standard Test Method for Verification of Ski Binding Test Devices

SCOPE
1.1 This test method defines procedures to determine agreement between a standard apparatus for measuring the release moments of ski bindings and a test device of unspecified design.
1.2 This test method also covers procedures for checking agreement between individual devices of identical but unspecified design, intended for determining the release moments of ski bindings.
1.3 Values expressed in newton meters, newtons, and centimeters are to be regarded as the standard.
1.4 Values expressed in units of torque may be converted to the appropriate force values when devices which indicate force are used.
1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
