ASTM F1063-22 - Standard Practice for Functional Inspections and Adjustments of Alpine Ski/Binding/Boot Systems

1.1 This practice provides procedures for inspection and adjustment of alpine ski/binding/boot systems, including ski binding systems designated as multi-norm bindings and those compatible with “improved walking soles.”

1.2 This practice should be followed for all ski/binding/boot systems, whether newly mounted or previously mounted, when work is performed on the system that may affect its release function, unless otherwise specified by the binding manufacturer in non-rental applications.

1.3 This standard is not applicable to ski/binding/boot rental systems, including incomplete systems, except when a customer intends to use his or her own skis/bindings with the shop’s boots (as provided in Subsection 7.3 of Practice F1064). For more information on ski/binding/boot rental shop practices, for both complete and incomplete systems, consult Practice F1064.

1.4 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.

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.
