CEN/TC 158/WG 7 - Head protectors for ice-hockey

ISO 10256-3:2016 specifies performance requirements and test methods for face protectors (including visors) for use in ice hockey and is intended to be used in conjunction with ISO 10256‑1.
Requirements and the corresponding test methods, where appropriate, are given for the following:
a)    construction and area of coverage;
b)    resistance to puck impact;
c)    penetration;
d)    field of vision;
e)    geometric (visual) optics and acuity;
f)     transmittance and haze;
g)    marking and information.
ISO 10256-3:2016 applies to face protectors worn by
-      players other than goalkeepers, and
-      certain functionaries (e.g. referees).
NOTE 1       The requirements of a Clause take precedent over a figure.
NOTE 2       The intent is to reduce the risk of injury to the face without compromising the form or appeal of the game.

ISO 10256-2:2016 specifies performance requirements and test methods for head protectors for use in ice hockey and is intended to be read in conjunction with ISO 10256‑1.
Requirements and the corresponding test methods, where appropriate, are given for the following:
a)    construction and protected area;
b)    shock absorption;
c)    penetration;
d)    retention system properties;
e)    field of vision;
f)     marking and information.
ISO 10256-2:2016 applies to head protectors worn by
-      players other than goalkeepers, and
-      certain functionaries (e.g. referees).
NOTE 1       The requirements of a Clause take precedent over a figure.
NOTE 2       The intent of this part of ISO 10256 is to reduce the risk of injury to the head without compromising the form or appeal of the game.

ISO 10256-4:2016 covers performance requirements for head and face protectors to be used by ice hockey goalkeepers. It is intended to be read in conjunction with ISO 10256‑1, ISO 10256‑2 and ISO 10256‑3.
Performance requirements are established, where appropriate for the following:
a)    materials, assembly, and design;
b)    protected areas (coverage) and penetration resistance;
c)    shock absorption;
d)    puck impact resistance;
e)    retention;
f)     optical quality.
NOTE 1       The requirements of a clause take precedent over a figure.
NOTE 2       The intent of this part of ISO 10256 is to reduce the risk of injury to the head and face of ice hockey goalkeepers without compromising the form and appeal of the game.

ISO 10256-1:2016 is part of ISO 10256 specifies general requirements for head, face, neck and body protectors (hereafter referred to as protectors) for use in ice hockey.
ISO 10256-1:2016 is intended only for protectors used for ice hockey. Requirements are given for the following:
a)    terms and definitions;
b)    innocuousness;
c)    ergonomics;
d)    test report;
e)    permanent markings;
f)     information for users.
In the ISO 10256 series, collateral standards specify performance requirements for protectors for use in ice hockey and are intended to be read in conjunction with ISO 10256-1:2016.
NOTE 1       The requirements of a clause take precedence over a figure.
NOTE 2       The intent is to reduce the risk of injury to an ice hockey player without compromising the form or appeal of the game. These standards presume that the rules of play for ice hockey will be followed by players and enforced by officials.

ISO 10256:2003 specifies performance requirements and test methods for head and face protection for use in ice hockey.
Perfarmance requirements and test methods, where appropriate, are given for the following: construction; shock absorption; puck-impact resistance; penetration; retention-system properties; field of vision; marking and information.
The head and face protection is intended for use by players, goalkeepers and certain functionaries (e.g. referees).

This European Standard specifies performance requirements and tests for head protectors for ice hockey players. The intent is to reduce the risk of injury to the head without compromising the form or appeal of the game. Requirements and the corresponding methods of test, where appropriate, are given for the following: - construction; - shock absorbing properties; - puck impact resistance; - penetration; - retention system properties; - field of vision; - marking and information.
