Significance and Use

5.1 The purpose of this practice is to aid in providing the end user with an appropriate functioning ski/binding/boot system and associated release/retention characteristics by providing the rental facility with an ongoing program for monitoring the appropriateness of functional characteristics of the system. It is assumed that these procedures are integrated into the maintenance and operating procedures specified by the equipment manufacturers (for example, in manufacturer-provided technical manuals). This practice is not intended to create additional or redundant requirements for the rental facility. However, this practice should be the basis for the development of rental procedures if the equipment manufacturer’s maintenance and operating procedures do not specifically state that they are in compliance with this practice. This practice will aid the rental facility in providing the end user with a system that provides appropriate release/retention characteristics.

5.2 This practice is applicable to rental facilities that use releasable alpine ski bindings. It is not intended as a method for evaluating equipment designs or types, such as alpine touring equipment. Mixing components of different system types (for example, using an alpine touring boot in an alpine binding) is discouraged.

Scope

1.1 This practice establishes a uniform method for the sampling and inspection of complete and incomplete Alpine ski/binding/boot systems used in rental operations. This practice is appropriate for use in rental applications in which all or part of the functional components of the system are supplied by the rental facility.

1.2 This practice should be followed by any facility that rents complete or incomplete Alpine ski/binding/boot systems to an end user.

1.3 This practice is not intended for use with other ski boot or bindings systems, such as alpine touring or pin/tech systems. Use of ski boots or ski bindings that do not meet the requirements for alpine ski equipment can cause unexpected release and retention characteristics.

1.4 This standard does not apply to a ski/binding/boot system that is rented to one individual for the majority of a season and not returned to the rental inventory until the end of the season (often referred to as a seasonal rental); such systems will follow the practice provided in Practice F1063.

Note 1: Refer to Practice F1063 for equivalent procedures and tolerances for retail systems.

1.5 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
