Introduction

Ice hockey is a high speed, collision sport in which there is a risk of injury. The objective of ISO 10256-

2:202x is to specify performance requirements and test methods for head protectors for use in ice

hockey considering the risks inherent in participating in the sport, many of which cannot be eliminated

by protective equipment.

Ice hockey head protectors afford no protection from neck or spinal injury. Severe head, brain, or

spinal injuries, including paralysis or death, can occur despite using an ice hockey head protector in

accordance with this part of ISO 10256. By playing this sport, participants accept the risk of serious

injury, paralysis and/or death.

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 head

protector is distributed and dampened and the penetration of objects is counteracted.

To achieve optimal head protector performance and to ensure stability on the head, a head protector

is intended fitted as closely as possible consistent with comfort. In use, it is essential that the head

protector is securely fastened, with any retention system adjusted in accordance with manufacturer’s

instructions.

Subcommittee 5 is aware that head protector performance specifications 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 construction as they become available to meet the future requirements of the sport

of ice hockey. Subcommittee 5 recognizes that to provide for comfort, fit and use, head protectors are

intended to have a mass consistent with the appropriate performance characteristics.
