(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 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 F 1064 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
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.
