This document is not an ASTM standard and is intended only to provide the user of an ASTM standard an indication of what changes have been made to the previous version. Because
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
of the standard as published by ASTM is to be considered the official document.

INTRODUCTION
Ice hockey is a contact sport with intrinsic hazards. The use of protective equipment will not
eliminate all injuries but should substantially reduce the severity and frequency of injury. Participation
in the sport of ice hockey by a player implies acceptance of some risk of injury. The goal is to
minimize this risk.
This performance specification for head protective equipment has been prepared after consideration
of head protection relative to the following principle risks: high-mass, low-velocity impact (various
playing situations), and fit. This performance specification may be modified as other risks are
identified.
Performance requirements were determined after consideration of state-of-the-art of helmet design
and manufacture and the demands of the sport.

3.1 Definitions of Terms Specific to This Standard:
3.1.1 retention system:
3.1.1.1 chin strap—the chin strap, including a cup that covers the chin (see Fig. 1), is affixed to both sides of the helmet and secures
the helmet to the head when a Type I or Type II full face protector is not worn with the helmet.
3.1.1.2 neck strap—the neck strap that secures the helmet to the head is affixed on both sides of the helmet and passes under the
lower jaw in close proximity to the jaw and the neck. Where the helmet is worn with a Type I or Type II full face protector, the
neck strap serves as the attachment of the helmet to the head.
