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.
