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.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 9462 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 83, Sports and recreational equipment,
Subcommittee SC 3, Ski bindings.
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition (ISO 9462:1993), Clauses 3 and 7/subclauses 5.1,
6.3.3, 6.3.4 and 6.6.2/Tables 1 and 3/Annexes A and B of which have been technically revised/deleted/added.
It also incorporates the Amendment ISO 9462:1993/Amd.1:2002 and the Technical Corrigendum
ISO 9462:1993/Cor.1:1993.

release values
maximum values of torques M and M caused at the boot/ski connection by the two movements of torsion
z y
and forward bending

NOTE 1 These values are generally adjustable on current bindings which have a scale and an indicator displaying the
setting level.
NOTE 2 In the present state of the art, bindings are designed at least to release in torsion (± M ) and in forward
z
bending (± M )

The binding shall be mounted on a ski in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. A test sole shall
then be inserted in the binding.
In method A, the ski is rigidly connected to the test frame and the torque M or M is progressively applied to
z y
the sole until the binding releases. The peak value of M or M is recorded.
z y
In method B, the sole is rigidly connected to the test frame through a sensor which measures the torques M

6 Requirements and testing
6.1 General requirements
NOTE This subclause deals with general requirements covering topics where the evaluation is carried out visually.
6.1.1 Function and form
6.1.1.1 The binding shall release at least in two cases:
⎯ when applying a torque M about an axis perpendicular to the ski gliding surface;
z
⎯ when applying a torque M about an axis parallel to the ski surface and perpendicular to the longitudinal
y
axis of the ski.
The binding is said to release when the above mentioned torque reaches a maximum value (release value)
and then drops to a value that is harmless for the skier. After release, all the loads applied by the ski and the
boot on the leg shall remain below the dangerous level for all possible movements, and until all the risks
associated with the coupling boot-ski are no longer apparent.
6.1.1.2 The release level shall be clearly indicated by a scale covering all of the setting range anticipated
by the manufacturer. The release shall still be possible at the upper limit (maximum setting). Settings above
Z = 10 shall be clearly differentiated from settings below Z = 10 on the indicator scale.
6.1.1.3 Each procedure of adjustment to the boot having an influence on the binding functioning shall be
verifiable by the use of a clear indicator, or by any other means considered suitable by the operator for
showing the correct adjustment.

---------------------- Page: 11 ----------------------
ISO 9462:2006(E)
6.1.1.4 The binding shall be equipped with a ski-brake or allow for an easy and secure attachment of a
leash.
6.1.1.5 The design of the ski-brake or the leash shall be such that, after release, no unnecessary danger
will occur to the skier.
6.1.1.6 The binding shall have an external design which does not have a negative influence on skiing or
cause unnecessary risk of injuries when used normally.
6.1.2 Handling
6.1.2.1 Mounting instructions
The manufacturer or the importer shall deliver mounting instructions that are easily understood, to the sports
shop. These instructions shall include at least:
a) the mechanical procedure for adjusting the release values of the binding;
b) recommendations for determining the appropriate release values for the skier;
c) the sole characteristics required for good functioning of the binding;
d) the boot-sole requirements and preparation for mounting of additional elements if necessary;
e) preparation and mounting of the binding e.g. use of jig, compatibility with ski, etc.;
f) the adjustment instructions necessary for accommodating different boot-sole lengths and heights, the
centring of the sole and ways of controlling the length adjustment;
g) ways of performing the basic functional tests after mounting;
h) recommendation for setting the binding with a setting device;
i) troubleshooting procedures for non-symmetric release and readjustment.
6.1.2.2 Instructions for use
An easily understood set of instructions for the skier shall be included with all bindings. These instructions
shall contain at least:
a) warnings against important modifications of the recommended setting;
b) instructions on how to step in and out of the binding, how to restore the binding to its initial position after
release and how to open the binding after a fall in an awkward position;
c) recommendations for avoiding problems, for example increase of the release level with time;
d) instructions for maintenance, storage and control of the binding;
e) recommendations for setting the binding by a specialist with a setting device and for controlling this
setting each year;
f) a warning that, when skiing in deep snow, the brake alone is not sufficient to avoid losing the ski;
g) information on the appropriate ski-boots with which the binding is designed to function.

6.3.6.2 Testing
Subject four bindings to the following cycles
a) The ski shall be placed in a horizontal position at a temperature of − 20 °C for at least 30 min after the
following preconditions:
1) hold ski upright, with tip uppermost at (23 ± 5) °C;
2) binding open at heel;
3) shower with water at (40 ± 3) °C for 2 min;
4) leave in this position for approximately 1 min.
Then insert a boot sole (dry and at − 20 °C) into binding. Flex the ski five times (curve of deflection
approximately 30 mm while ski is supported between supports 1 000 mm apart). The specimen is now
ready for specified release tests in accordance with the following instructions.
b) Take the horizontal ski, with an inserted test sole [both at (23 ± 5) °C], and shower it for 2 min with water
at (40 ± 5) °C, from a distance of 200 mm. Place the ski in an upright position (tip uppermost) for 10 s.
Place the ski in a horizontal position and hold it at − 20 °C for at least 30 min.
For cycles a) and b), after five flections of the ski [see a)] carry out the release tests at first for M , then
y
after stepping into the binding again, immediately for M .
z
c) Carry out cycles a) and b) alternatively. Immediately after the release test, store the binding at ambient
temperature (23 ± 5) °C for 10 min before beginning the subsequent cycle. The total number of cycles is
six, each of them being carried out three times. The number of cycles may be reduced to two, if the mean
value of the deviations between the measurements for the first two cycles and the corresponding
references is smaller than 25 %.
6.3.7 Snow pack
6.3.7.1 Requirements
The mean value of the deviations between each of the release values and the corresponding reference value
shall not exceed 40 % for bindings of type C and CA, and 35 % for bindings of type A.
Additionally, this mean value shall not be situated in a range of 25 % to 75 % of the reference value for the
forward fall release, in order to avoid the risk of inadvertent release due to the binding having been fixed
incorrectly.

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.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 9462 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 83, Sports and recreational equipment,
Subcommittee SC 3, Ski bindings.
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition (ISO 9462:1993), Clauses 3 and 7/subclauses 5.1,
6.3.3, 6.3.4 and 6.6.2/Tables 1 and 3/Annexes A and B of which have been technically revised/deleted/added.
It also incorporates the Amendment ISO 9462:1993/Amd.1:2002 and the Technical Corrigendum

6 Requirements and testing
6.1 General requirements
NOTE This subclause deals with general requirements covering topics where the evaluation is carried out visually.
6.1.1 Function and form
6.1.1.1 The binding shall release at least in two cases:
⎯ when applying a torque M about an axis perpendicular to the ski gliding surface;
z
⎯ when applying a torque M about an axis parallel to the ski surface and perpendicular to the longitudinal
y
axis of the ski.
The binding is said to release when the above mentioned torque reaches a maximum value (release value)
and then drops to a value that is harmless for the skier. After release, all the loads applied by the ski and the
boot on the leg shall remain below the dangerous level for all possible movements, and until all the risks
associated with the coupling boot-ski are no longer apparent.
6.1.1.2 The release level shall be clearly indicated by a scale covering all of the setting range anticipated
by the manufacturer. The release shall still be possible at the upper limit (maximum setting). Settings above
Z = 10 shall be clearly differentiated from settings below Z = 10 on the indicator scale.
6.1.1.3 Each procedure of adjustment to the boot having an influence on the binding functioning shall be
verifiable by the use of a clear indicator, or by any other means considered suitable by the operator for
showing the correct adjustment.

6.1.1.4 The binding shall be equipped with a ski-brake or allow for an easy and secure attachment of a
leash.
6.1.1.5 The design of the ski-brake or the leash shall be such that, after release, no unnecessary danger
will occur to the skier.
6.1.1.6 The binding shall have an external design which does not have a negative influence on skiing or
cause unnecessary risk of injuries when used normally.
6.1.2 Handling
6.1.2.1 Mounting instructions
The manufacturer or the importer shall deliver mounting instructions that are easily understood, to the sports
shop. These instructions shall include at least:
a) the mechanical procedure for adjusting the release values of the binding;
b) recommendations for determining the appropriate release values for the skier;
c) the sole characteristics required for good functioning of the binding;
d) the boot-sole requirements and preparation for mounting of additional elements if necessary;
e) preparation and mounting of the binding e.g. use of jig, compatibility with ski, etc.;
f) the adjustment instructions necessary for accommodating different boot-sole lengths and heights, the
centring of the sole and ways of controlling the length adjustment;
g) ways of performing the basic functional tests after mounting;
h) recommendation for setting the binding with a setting device;
i) troubleshooting procedures for non-symmetric release and readjustment.
6.1.2.2 Instructions for use
An easily understood set of instructions for the skier shall be included with all bindings. These instructions
shall contain at least:
a) warnings against important modifications of the recommended setting;
b) instructions on how to step in and out of the binding, how to restore the binding to its initial position after
release and how to open the binding after a fall in an awkward position;
c) recommendations for avoiding problems, for example increase of the release level with time;
d) instructions for maintenance, storage and control of the binding;
e) recommendations for setting the binding by a specialist with a setting device and for controlling this
setting each year;
f) a warning that, when skiing in deep snow, the brake alone is not sufficient to avoid losing the ski;
g) information on the appropriate ski-boots with which the binding is designed to function.

© ISO 2006 – All rights reserved 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. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. ISO 9462 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 83, Sports and recreational equipment, Subcommittee SC 3, Ski bindings. This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition (ISO 9462:1993), Clauses 3 and 7/subclauses 5.1, 6.3.3, 6.3.4 and 6.6.2/Tables 1 and 3/Annexes A and B of which have been technically revised/deleted/added. It also incorporates the Amendment ISO 9462:1993/Amd.1:2002 and the Technical Corrigendum ISO 9462:1993/Cor.1:1993.

1Alpine ski-bindings — Requirements and test methods 1 Scope This International Standard specifies the main characteristics of ski-bindings and describes, as an example, the test methods A and B. This International Standard applies to ski-bindings for alpine skiing for children, juniors and adults. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies. ISO 5355:2005, Alpine ski-boots — Requirements and test methods ISO 8061:2004, Alpine ski-bindings — Selection of release torque values ISO 9465:1991, Alpine ski-bindings — Lateral release under impact loading — Test method ISO 9838:1991, Alpine ski-bindings — Test soles for ski-binding tests 3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply. 3.1 alpine ski-binding system to ensure firm connection between boot and ski, fixing the heel low for downhill skiing NOTE The system releases the boot from the ski when certain loads reach preset values. 3.2 release detachment of the boot from the ski by release of the mechanism that ensures the connection between boot and ski NOTE This release is only considered effective when all the loads due to the boot/ski connection have dropped to values which present no danger to the skier. 3.3 release values maximum values of torques Mz and My caused at the boot/ski connection by the two movements of torsion and forward bending See Figure 1. oSIST ISO 9462:2011

© ISO 2006 – All rights reserved NOTE 1 These values are generally adjustable on current bindings which have a scale and an indicator displaying the setting level. NOTE 2 In the present state of the art, bindings are designed at least to release in torsion (± Mz) and in forward bending (± My) 3.4 reference value value, adjusted after a series of tests, used as a basis of comparison to evaluate the behaviour of the binding during the tests (see 6.3.1) 3.5 combined loading loading of the sole or ski in several directions at the same time, where one of the loads is the torque Mz progressively applied to the sole until the binding releases See Figure 1 and Table 1.

NOTE Each of the load combinations simulates a given situation, chosen within an infinite field of possibilities and simplified for the purpose of the tests. The main simplification being that the loads applied additionally to the release torque Mz are held constant in value and direction during all the release process. oSIST ISO 9462:2011

The measurement error of the release value in forward bending shall be smaller than ± 2 % for values W 200 N⋅m
and ± 4 N⋅m for values < 200 N⋅m. The test equipment shall be designed to allow application of pure moments without any extraneous forces, during the entire release process. 4.3 Test sole The test sole shall be in accordance with ISO 9838. Before testing, the sole shall be degreased, washed and dried. 4.4 Test ski For the release tests in the laboratory, the bindings shall be mounted either on whole skis or on appropriate sections of skis. If the binding is pre-mounted (already mounted on the ski by the producer) use the ski with which the binding is delivered in its medium size. If not, choose a ski which represents the market. 5 Test methods A and B 5.1 Principle The binding shall be mounted on a ski in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. A test sole shall then be inserted in the binding. In method A, the ski is rigidly connected to the test frame and the torque Mz or My is progressively applied to the sole until the binding releases. The peak value of Mz or My is recorded. In method B, the sole is rigidly connected to the test frame through a sensor which measures the torques Mz and My. Forces are progressively applied to the ski until the binding releases. The peak value of Mz or My is recorded. oSIST ISO 9462:2011

The binding is said to release when the above mentioned torque reaches a maximum value (release value) and then drops to a value that is harmless for the skier. After release, all the loads applied by the ski and the boot on the leg shall remain below the dangerous level for all possible movements, and until all the risks associated with the coupling boot-ski are no longer apparent. 6.1.1.2 The release level shall be clearly indicated by a scale covering all of the setting range anticipated by the manufacturer. The release shall still be possible at the upper limit (maximum setting). Settings above Z = 10 shall be clearly differentiated from settings below Z = 10 on the indicator scale. 6.1.1.3 Each procedure of adjustment to the boot having an influence on the binding functioning shall be verifiable by the use of a clear indicator, or by any other means considered suitable by the operator for showing the correct adjustment. oSIST ISO 9462:2011



ISO 9462:2006(E) 8
© ISO 2006 – All rights reserved 6.1.1.4 The binding shall be equipped with a ski-brake or allow for an easy and secure attachment of a leash. 6.1.1.5 The design of the ski-brake or the leash shall be such that, after release, no unnecessary danger will occur to the skier. 6.1.1.6 The binding shall have an external design which does not have a negative influence on skiing or cause unnecessary risk of injuries when used normally. 6.1.2 Handling 6.1.2.1 Mounting instructions The manufacturer or the importer shall deliver mounting instructions that are easily understood, to the sports shop. These instructions shall include at least: a) the mechanical procedure for adjusting the release values of the binding; b) recommendations for determining the appropriate release values for the skier; c) the sole characteristics required for good functioning of the binding; d) the boot-sole requirements and preparation for mounting of additional elements if necessary; e) preparation and mounting of the binding e.g. use of jig, compatibility with ski, etc.; f) the adjustment instructions necessary for accommodating different boot-sole lengths and heights, the centring of the sole and ways of controlling the length adjustment; g) ways of performing the basic functional tests after mounting; h) recommendation for setting the binding with a setting device; i) troubleshooting procedures for non-symmetric release and readjustment. 6.1.2.2 Instructions for use An easily understood set of instructions for the skier shall be included with all bindings. These instructions shall contain at least: a) warnings against important modifications of the recommended setting; b) instructions on how to step in and out of the binding, how to restore the binding to its initial position after release and how to open the binding after a fall in an awkward position; c) recommendations for avoiding problems, for example increase of the release level with time; d) instructions for maintenance, storage and control of the binding; e) recommendations for setting the binding by a specialist with a setting device and for controlling this setting each year; f) a warning that, when skiing in deep snow, the brake alone is not sufficient to avoid losing the ski; g) information on the appropriate ski-boots with which the binding is designed to function. oSIST ISO 9462:2011

96.2 Release tests — Setting, reproducibility and symmetry of release values 6.2.1 Requirements 6.2.1.1 Scattering of values The difference between each of the five values and their mean value shall not exceed ± 10 % of that mean value. 6.2.1.2 Symmetry in torsion The difference between the mean of the five values of Mz in one direction and the mean of the ten values of ⏐Mz⏐ shall not exceed ± 10 % of the latter. 6.2.1.3 Accuracy of setting scale The release value that corresponds to the indicator position of the setting scale is given in Table 2. For Mz, the tolerance is ± 5 N⋅m for Z = 1 and then increases linearly to ± 10 N⋅m for Z = 10. For My, the tolerance is calculated by taking into account the relationship between My and Mz given in Table 2. NOTE To determine the tolerances on Mz and My, use Figures D.1 and D.2. This requirement applies to each of the mean values of the ten values of ⏐Mz⏐ and each of the mean values of the five values of My corresponding to the settings L2, 1/3, 2/3 and L3. For the highest setting (limit L4, i.e. off the scale), these mean values shall not exceed the mean values corresponding to limit L3 by more than 20 %. 6.2.2 Testing 6.2.2.1 Sampling Carry out the test on four bindings randomly chosen from a set of six bindings. If the preceding requirements in 6.2.1 are not fulfilled, two of the four bindings can be replaced by the remaining two bindings in this set. 6.2.2.2 Choice of settings Carry out the tests at ambient temperature (23 ± 5) °C, with the sole and bindings dry, for the following settings: ⎯ limit L2; ⎯ at approximately 1/3 of the scale; ⎯ at approximately 2/3 of the scale; ⎯ limit L3; ⎯ limit L4. Carry out the tests using the sole length corresponding to the setting mark, according to Table 2. oSIST ISO 9462:2011

3 Définitions
Pour les besoins du présent document, les définitions suivantes s'appliquent.
3.1
fixation de ski alpin
dispositif assurant une liaison ferme entre la chaussure et le ski, avec maintien du talon en position basse
pour le ski alpin
NOTE Le dispositif libère la chaussure du ski lorsque certains efforts atteignent des valeurs préétablies.
3.2
déclenchement
libération de la chaussure du ski obtenue par déclenchement du mécanisme assurant la liaison chaussure/ski
NOTE Ce déclenchement n'est considéré comme effectif que lorsque tous les efforts provoqués par l'existence de la
liaison chaussure/ski sont retombés à des valeurs ne présentant plus de danger pour le skieur.
3.3
valeurs de déclenchement
valeurs maximales des couples M et M , occasionnées au niveau de la liaison chaussure/ski par les deux

NOTE 1 Ces valeurs sont généralement réglables sur les fixations actuelles qui disposent d'une échelle et d'un
indicateur permettant de visualiser le niveau de réglage.
NOTE 2 Dans l'état actuel de la technique, les fixations sont conçues au moins pour se déclencher en torsion (± M ) et
z
en chute en avant (± M ).

3.4
valeur de référence
valeur, ajustée par une série d'essais, servant de base de comparaison pour évaluer le comportement de la
fixation durant les essais (voir 6.3.1)
3.5
charge combinée
application d'efforts sur la semelle ou le ski dans plusieurs directions à la fois, où l'un des efforts correspond
au couple M appliqué progressivement à la semelle jusqu'au déclenchement de la fixation

4 Conditions d'essai
4.1 Vitesse d'application des efforts
Les essais doivent être effectués de manière quasi statique, en veillant à ce que les valeurs indicatives
suivantes soient respectées pour le gradient de couple:
a) déclenchement en torsion:
dM
z
u 50 N⋅m/s
dt
b) déclenchement en chute en avant:
dM
y
u 220 N⋅m/s
dt
4.2 Exactitude de mesure
L'erreur de mesure de la valeur de déclenchement en torsion doit être inférieure à ± 2 % pour les valeurs
W 50 N⋅m et à ± 1 N⋅m pour les valeurs < à 50 N⋅m.
L'erreur de mesure de la valeur de déclenchement en chute en avant doit être inférieure à ± 2 % pour les
valeurs W 200 N⋅m et à ± 4 N⋅m pour les valeurs < 200 N⋅m.
Le matériel d'essai doit être conçu de manière à permettre l'application des couples purs exempts de forces
parasites pendant tout le processus de déclenchement.
4.3 Semelle d'essai
La semelle d'essai doit être conforme à l'ISO 9838.
Avant l'essai, la semelle doit être dégraissée, lavée et séchée.
4.4 Ski d'essai
En vue des essais de déclenchement en laboratoire, les fixations doivent être montées soit sur des skis
entiers, soit sur des sections appropriées de skis. Si la fixation est prémontée (c'est-à-dire déjà montée sur le
ski par le fabricant), utiliser le ski livré avec la fixation et choisir la taille moyenne. Dans le cas contraire,
choisir un ski représentatif de l'offre du marché.
5 Méthodes d'essai A et B
5.1 Principe
La fixation doit être montée sur un ski conformément aux instructions du fabricant. Une semelle d'essai doit
ensuite être insérée dans la fixation.
Dans la méthode A, le ski est solidement lié à la structure de l'installation d'essai et le couple M ou M est
z y
progressivement appliqué à la semelle jusqu'à ce que la fixation se déclenche. La valeur maximale de M ou
z
M est enregistrée.
y

---------------------- Page: 8 ----------------------
ISO 9462:2006(F)
Dans la méthode B, la semelle est solidement liée à la structure de l'installation d'essai par l'intermédiaire d'un
capteur mesurant les couples M et M . Des forces sont progressivement appliquées au ski jusqu'à ce que la
z y
fixation se déclenche. La valeur maximale de M ou M est enregistrée.
z y
Les Annexes A et B fournissent des exemples de mise en œuvre de la méthode A ou de la méthode B.
La réussite de l'une des deux méthodes doit être considérée comme un résultat satisfaisant.

6 Exigences et méthodes d'essai
6.1 Exigences générales
NOTE Le présent paragraphe traite des exigences générales portant sur des éléments dont l'évaluation fait l'objet
d'un contrôle visuel.
6.1.1 Fonction et forme
6.1.1.1 La fixation doit se déclencher au moins dans deux cas:
⎯ sous l'effet d'un couple M autour d'un axe perpendiculaire au plan de glissement du ski;
z
⎯ sous l'effet d'un couple M autour d'un axe parallèle à la surface du ski et perpendiculaire à l'axe
y
longitudinal du ski.
La fixation doit se déclencher lorsque l'un des deux couples précédemment mentionnés atteint une valeur
maximale (valeur de déclenchement) puis retombe à une valeur sans danger pour le skieur. Après
déclenchement, l'ensemble des efforts exercés par le ski et la chaussure sur la jambe doit se maintenir en
dessous du niveau dangereux quel que soit le mouvement, et ce jusqu'à disparition de tous les risques
impliqués par la liaison chaussure/ski.
6.1.1.2 Le niveau de déclenchement doit être clairement indiqué au moyen d'une échelle de réglage
s'étendant à toute la plage de réglage prévue par le fabricant. Le déclenchement doit toujours être possible au
niveau de la limite supérieure (réglage maximal). L'échelle de l'indicateur doit clairement différencier les
réglages supérieurs à Z = 10 des réglages inférieurs à Z = 10.
