Introduction

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

3:202x is to specify performance requirements and test methods for face and eye protectors, considering

the risks inherent in participating in the sport, many of which cannot be eliminated by protective

equipment. By playing this sport, participants accept the risk of serious injury, paralysis, or death.

The intention of face protection is to reduce the frequency and severity of localized injuries to the face

and eyes. The protective function is such that the force from impacts against the protector is distributed

and dampened and the penetration of objects is counteracted.

Protectors can consist of face protectors or eye protectors (visors) worn in conjunction with an ice

hockey head protector.

To achieve the performance of which it is capable, and to ensure stability on the head, a head protector

and associated face or eye protector is intended to be as closely fitting as possible consistent with

comfort. In use, it is essential that the head protector and associated protector are securely fastened,

with any chin strap or neck strap adjusted in accordance with manufacturer’s instructions.

b) design;
c) protected area (coverage);
d) penetration resistance (test blade);
e) puck impact resistance;
f) optical quality;
g) test report;
h) markings; and
i) information for users.
This part of ISO 10256 applies to face and eye protectors worn by

— ice hockey players (not goaltenders except where ISO 10256-4:202x references this Standard), and

— referees.
