Standard Specification for Helmets Used in Short Track Speed Ice Skating (Not to Include Hockey)

ABSTRACT
This specification covers the performance requirements for helmets used by short track speed ice skaters (excluding hockey). The performance requirements to which the helmets shall conform include those for the headform, retention system, impact sites and projections, and impact schedule.
SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers performance requirements for helmets used by short track speed ice skaters (excluding hockey). This specification recognizes the desirability of lightweight construction and ventilation; however, it is a performance standard and is not intended to restrict design.
1.2 All testing and requirements of this specification shall be in accordance with Test Methods F 1446, except where noted herein.
1.3 Partial utilization of this specification is prohibited. Any statement of compliance with this specification must be a certification that the headgear meets all of the requirements of the specification in their entirety. A headgear that fails to meet any one of the requirements of this specification is considered to have failed the specification, and shall not be sold with any indication that it meets parts of the specification.
1.4 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.
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.
