c) penetration;
d) retention system properties;
e) field of vision;
f) marking and information.
ISO 10256-2:2016 applies to head protectors worn by
- players other than goalkeepers, and
- certain functionaries (e.g. referees).
NOTE 1 The requirements of a Clause take precedent over a figure.
NOTE 2 The intent of this part of ISO 10256 is to reduce the risk of injury to the head without compromising the form or appeal of the game.

Varovalna oprema za uporabo pri hokeju na ledu - 2. del: Zaščita glave za drsalce (ISO 10256-2:2016)
Ta mednarodni standard določa zahteve glede učinkovitosti in preskusne metode za ščitnike za glavo za uporabo pri hokeju na ledu, uporabljati pa ga je treba skupaj s standardom ISO 10256-1. Opomba 1: Zahteve točke imajo prednost pred številsko vrednostjo. Opomba 2: Namen tega mednarodnega standarda je zmanjšati tveganje za poškodbe glave brez vpliva na način ali privlačnost igre. Opomba 3: Hokej na ledu je šport, ki vključuje tveganja za poškodbe. Ta mednarodni standard je namenjen le čeladam, ki se uporabljajo pri hokeju na ledu. Čelade za hokej na ledu ne zagotavljajo nobene zaščite pred poškodbami vratu ali hrbtenice. V skladu s tem mednarodnim standardom lahko pride do hudih poškodb glave, možganov ali hrbtenice oziroma paralize ali smrti navkljub uporabi čelade za hokej na ledu. Zahteve in ustrezne preskusne metode veljajo (kjer je to primerno) za:
a) izdelavo in pokritost; b) ublažitev udarcev;
c) prepustnost; d) lastnosti zadrževalnih sistemov; e) vidno polje; f) označevanje in podatke. Ta mednarodni standard se uporablja za ščitnike za glavo, ki jih uporabljajo:
a) igralci, ki niso vratarji; in
b) nekateri funkcionarji (npr. sodniki).

Introduction
Ice hockey is a sport in which there is a risk of injury. Ice hockey helmets afford no protection from neck
or spinal injury. Severe head, brain, or spinal injuries, including paralysis or death, can occur in spite of
using an ice hockey helmet according to this part of ISO 10256.The intention of head protection used in ice hockey is to reduce the frequency and severity of localized
injuries to the head. The protective function is such that the force from impacts against the protector is
distributed and dampened and the penetration of objects is counteracted.Part of the head protection for use in ice hockey consists of a helmet. To achieve the performance of
which it is capable and to ensure stability on the head, a helmet is intended to be as closely fitting as
possible consistent with comfort. In use, it is essential that the helmet is securely fastened, with any
chin strap or neck strap adjusted according to manufacturer’s instructions.Subcommittee 5 is aware that specifications for the performance of the helmet are required to reduce
the risk of injury in ice hockey. There was consensus that most of today’s head protectors meet the
performance requirements of this part of ISO 10256. The goal of the subcommittee is to promote the
use of better materials and/or constructions as they become available to meet the future requirements
of the sport of ice hockey. Subcommittee 5 recognizes that in order to provide for comfort, fit and
use, helmets is intended to have a mass consistent with providing the appropriate performance
characteristics.© ISO 2016 – All rights reserved v
