Overview

SIST ISO 6265:2017 is an international standard published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) that specifies a reliable method for determining the deformation load and breaking load of alpine skis. This standard applies to all alpine skis intended for adults, juveniles, and children. It defines procedures and equipment requirements for testing the ski's resistance to permanent deformation and structural failure under load, ensuring consistency and safety in ski manufacturing and quality control.

By standardizing the testing method, SIST ISO 6265:2017 helps manufacturers assess the mechanical durability of alpine skis, resulting in better product performance and enhanced user safety. It complements other standards related to ski bindings and materials, providing a comprehensive framework for alpine skiing equipment evaluation.

Key Topics

• Scope and Applicability
  SIST ISO 6265:2017 covers all types of alpine skis regardless of the age group of the user, including adults, juveniles, and children's skis. It focuses on measuring two key mechanical properties:

  • Deformation load: The load that causes 1 mm of permanent deformation.
  • Breaking load: The maximum load causing structural failure (breaking, delamination, or buckling).

• Testing Equipment and Setup

  • Testing is conducted on a universal tension and compression machine with a bending fixture.
  • Key components include two supports spaced 250 mm apart (one a low-friction roller), a dynamometer with a minimum 20,000 N range, and a displacement gauge for deflection measurement.
  • Load is applied through a ram plate consisting of a steel plate and a hard rubber layer with specified hardness (Shore A 95 ± 5).

• Test Procedure

  • The load application point is precisely determined relative to ski support points by inducing predefined deflections at 600 N load.
  • The ski is conditioned at 23 °C ± 5 °C before testing to ensure consistent material behavior.
  • Load is applied at a deflection rate of 25 mm/min until ski failure.
  • Load-deflection data are recorded continuously during the test.

• Evaluation Method

  • Deformation load is derived graphically at the point corresponding to 1 mm permanent deformation.
  • Breaking load corresponds to the peak load on the recorded load-deflection curve.

• Reporting Requirements
  Test reports must include ski brand, model, group classification per ISO 8364, manufacturer’s registration, and a load-deflection curve with load values. Any deviations from the standard method must be documented with justifications.

Applications

• Manufacturing Quality Control
  Ski manufacturers use SIST ISO 6265:2017 testing to verify that their products meet necessary stiffness and strength criteria before release. This helps ensure product reliability and customer safety.

• Product Development and Benchmarking
  The standard provides objective data to compare different ski designs and materials, guiding improvements in performance and durability.

• Regulatory Compliance and Certification
  Compliance with ISO 6265 may be required or recommended for market access and certification by national or international sports equipment authorities.

• Safety and Durability Assurance
  By testing resistance to deformation and breakage, the standard helps prevent failures during use, reducing injury risk associated with equipment malfunction.

Related Standards

• ISO 8364 – Alpine skis and bindings: Binding mounting area – Requirements and test methods
  Defines requirements for mounting binding areas on alpine skis, relevant for testing conditions and ski grouping referenced in ISO 6265.

• ISO 868 – Plastics and ebonite: Determination of indentation hardness by means of a durometer (Shore hardness)
  Provides the methodology to verify hardness of the rubber layer used in the ram plate of the testing machine.

Avant-propos
L’ISO (Organisation internationale de normalisation) est une fédération mondiale d’organismes
nationaux de normalisation (comités membres de l’ISO). L’élaboration des Normes internationales est
en général confiée aux comités techniques de l’ISO. Chaque comité membre intéressé par une étude
a le droit de faire partie du comité technique créé à cet effet. Les organisations internationales,
gouvernementales et non gouvernementales, en liaison avec l’ISO participent également aux travaux.
L’ISO collabore étroitement avec la Commission électrotechnique internationale (CEI) en ce qui concerne
la normalisation électrotechnique.
Les Normes internationales sont rédigées conformément aux règles données dans les Directives
ISO/CEI, Partie 2.
La tâche principale des comités techniques est d’élaborer les Normes internationales. Les projets de
Normes internationales adoptés par les comités techniques sont soumis aux comités membres pour vote.
Leur publication comme Normes internationales requiert l’approbation de 75 % au moins des comités
membres votants.
L’attention est appelée sur le fait que certains des éléments du présent document peuvent faire l’objet de
