Protective equipment for use in ice hockey — Part 5: Neck laceration protectors for ice hockey players
ISO 10256-5:2017 specifies performance requirements and test methods for neck laceration protectors used in ice hockey. Neck laceration protectors are needed to reduce the risk of direct laceration to the neck caused by contact of a hockey skate blade. The tests required to ensure that a neck laceration protector conforms to the requirements of this document do not attempt to predict the performance of the neck protector in all possible situations. This document does not address protection from the impact of pucks, sticks or other objects. ISO 10256-5:2017 does not address accessories that are associated with a neck laceration protector.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/ directives).

Introduction
The intention of neck laceration protection is to reduce the frequency and severity of lacerations to the
neck while playing ice hockey. The protective function is such that the penetration of a skate blade is
counteracted.
Neck laceration protection for use in ice hockey consists of a neck laceration protector. To achieve the
performance of which it is capable and to ensure stability on the neck, a neck laceration protector should
be as closely fitting as possible consistent with comfort. In use, it is essential that the neck laceration
protector is securely fastened according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
ISO/TC 83/SC 5 is aware that specifications for the performance of the neck laceration protector are
required to reduce the risk of injury in ice hockey. The goal of the subcommittee is to promote the use of
improved materials and/or constructions as they become available to meet the future requirements of
the sport of ice hockey. ISO/TC 83/SC 5 recognizes that in order to provide for comfort, fit and use, neck
laceration protectors should be constructed from materials providing the appropriate performance
characteristics.
The intent of this document is to reduce the risk of lacerations to the neck without compromising the
form or appeal of the game.
Ice hockey is a sport in which there is a risk of injury. This document is intended only for neck laceration
protectors used for ice hockey. Ice hockey neck laceration protectors do not afford protection from
impacts to the neck or spine, nor do they protect against axial compressive loading of the cervical spine.
Severe head, brain or spinal injuries, including paralysis or death, may occur even though an ice hockey
neck laceration protector meeting the requirements of this document is used.
In order for a neck laceration protector to perform adequately, it needs to be in good condition, fit
properly, be worn properly and not be altered in any way.
