(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
SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
4.1 The purpose of this practice is to aid in providing the end user with an appropriately functioning ski/binding/boot system with appropriate release/retention values.
4.2 The definitions and ranges defined in this practice do not necessarily apply to procedures incorporating an inspection interval or schedule, in which such procedures are specified by the binding manufacturer. This practice is not intended to be a method for evaluating equipment design.
SCOPE
1.1 This practice provides procedures for inspection and adjustment of alpine ski/binding/boot systems, including ski binding systems designated as multi-norm bindings and those compatible with “improved walking soles.”
1.2 This practice should be followed for all ski/binding/boot 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 This standard is not applicable to ski/binding/boot rental systems, including incomplete systems, except when a customer intends to use his or her own skis/bindings with the shop’s boots (as provided in Subsection 7.3 of Practice F1064). For more information on ski/binding/boot rental shop practices, for both complete and incomplete systems, consult Practice F1064.
1.4 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.
1.5 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.

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

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 ski/binding/boot 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.

more than 20 % of the clean test, used whenever a functional test for binding-boot compatibility is required (seea group of
interacting components, usually comprised of a 6.3). ski, binding, and boot.
3.1.2 clockwise versus counterclockwise tolerance—accepted difference between test results about an axis perpendicular to the
plane of the ski, usually from the toe piece component, and defined as within the inspection tolerance.
3.1.3 corrective action—procedures other than readjustment of the visual indicator setting (see 3.1.18) to include repair or
replacement of system components.
3.1.4 deviation—difference between the test result (see 3.1.16) and the selected reference torque value (see 3.1.12), usually
expressed as a percentage of the selected reference torque value.
