Standard Practice for Sampling and Inspection of Complete and Incomplete Alpine Ski/Binding/Boot Systems in Rental Applications

Importancia y uso:

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.
