(Specification)Standard Specification for Eye and Face Protective Equipment for Hockey Players
Standard Specification for Eye and Face Protective Equipment for Hockey Players
SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers performance requirements and test methods for face protectors marketed, sold, and intended for ice hockey.
1.2 The intent of this specification is to reduce the risk of injury to the face without compromising the form or appeal of the game. To do so, the face protector shall be used:
1.2.1 As intended within the rules of the game and
1.2.2 In accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
1.3 Ice hockey is a sport with intrinsic hazards associated with the normal conduct of the game. Participation in ice hockey implies the acceptance of some risk of injury. Use of a face protector certified to this specification will not prevent all injuries.
1.4 This specification has been prepared after careful consideration of the frequency and mechanisms associated with facial and eye injuries that can potentially occur within the rules of the game of ice hockey.
1.5 Requirements and the corresponding test methods, where appropriate, are given for the following:
1.5.1 Construction,
1.5.2 Puck impact resistance,
1.5.3 Penetration,
1.5.4 Field of vision, and
1.5.5 Marking and information.
1.6 Face protection is intended for use by players, goalkeepers, and certain functionaries (for example, referees and coaches). Types of protectors considered under this specification are:
1.6.1 Type B1—A full-face protector intended for use by persons older than ten years of age, other than goaltenders;
1.6.2 Type B2—A full-face protector intended for use by persons ten years of age or younger, other than goaltenders; and
1.6.3 Type C (Visor)—A visor intended for use by person in the junior age category and older, other than goaltenders.
1.7 Units—The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.
1.8 Use of the singular does not exclude the plural (and vice versa) when the sense allows.
1.9 Although the intended primary application of this specification is stated in this scope, note that it remains the responsibility of the users of this specification to judge its suitability for their particular purpose.
1.10 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, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
1.11 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.

right and left halves (see Fig. 4).
3.1.25.6 reference plane, n—construction plane parallel to the basic plane of the headform at a distance from it which is a
function of the size of the headform.
3.1.26 porion, n—highest point on the upper margin of the cutaneous, external auditory meatus.
3.1.27 primary position of gaze, n—line running forward from the center of the pupil parallel to the median and horizontal
planes (see Fig. 4).
3.1.28 prism dioptre, n—unit used in measuring the deviating power of a prism; this power in prism dioptres is 100 times the
tangent of the angle of deviation of a ray of light.
3.1.29 prism imbalance, n—light passing through a lens and entering the one eye is deviated by an amount differing in direction
from the same light passing through the lens and entering the fellow eye.
3.1.30 protector, n—comprises a face protector either specially adapted to the helmet or forming a continuous unit designed to
protect the whole or parts of the wearer’s head and face against injury.
3.1.30.1 full-face protector, n—device intended to reduce the risk of injury to the eyes and face of ice hockey participants.
3.1.30.2 visor, n—device intended to reduce the risk of injury to the eyes of ice hockey participants.
3.1.31 resolution, n—ability of an optical system to distinguish two points at their minimum separation.
3.1.32 scan area, n—oval, peripheral fields area specified by superior, temporal, inferior, and nasal directions.
3.1.33 scotoma, n—blind spot in the field of vision.
3.1.34 subnasale, Sn, n—deepest point on the concavity of the anterior surface of the maxilla in the midline within 3.0 mm of
the floor of the nose (see Fig. 5).
3.1.35 threshold value, n—output reading obtained when the columnated light beam has been centered on the midpoint between
the pupils in the primary position of gaze and the headform is rotated 90° in the horizontal plane and the collimated light source
contacts the pupillary sensor closest to the light source.
3.1.36 vertex, n—point of intersection on the headform of the median plane with the frontal plane (see Fig. 4).
4. Requirements
4.1 Materials:
4.1.1 Documentation—The manufacturer shall provide written documentation indicating that the materials used in the
construction of the face protector fulfill the requirements of 4.1.2 – 4.1.6.
4.1.2 Cleaners—All materials used shall be known not to be adversely affected by ordinary household soap and cleaners as
recommended by the manufacturer.

4.1.3 Finishes—Paints, glues, and finishes used in manufacturing shall be compatible with the materials used in the construction
of the head and face protector.
4.1.4 Nonirritants—Material coming in contact with the wearer’s head shall not be of any type known to cause skin irritation
or disease or undergo significant loss of strength, flexibility, or other physical changes as a result of contact with perspiration, oil,
or grease from the wearer’s head.
4.1.5 Adhesives—Adhesive material used to attach padding or straps to the face protector or visor shall be of a formulation that
will not alter the chemical or physical properties of the materials to an extent so as to reduce their protective qualities.
