ASTM F1061-97

Specification for Ski Binding Test Devices

SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers requirements for devices used to determine the release moments of ski equipment in retail sales and rental facilities.
1.2 This specification is applicable to the manufacture, repair, and calibration of such devices.
1.3 This specification is to be used with Test Method F 1062.
1.4 The values expressed in deka-Newton metres, deka-Newtons, and centimetres are to be regarded as the standard.
1.5 The values expressed in units of torque may be converted to the appropriate force values when devices which indicate force are used.

Specification for
Ski Binding Test Devices
This standard is issued under the fixed designation F 1061; 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
The purpose of this specification is to aid in the selection of ski binding test devices appropriate for
the needs of ski equipment sales and rental facilities. Devices which meet this specification exceed the
requirements of ASTM Practices F 1063, F 1064, and F 1065. Therefore, a device that does not meet
this specification may still satisfy the requirements of ASTM Practices F 1063, F 1064, and F 1065.
