Abstract / scope
This document specifies methods for the selection of the release torques for alpine ski-bindings. It gives information necessary to determine the release torques recommended for use by ski-binding manufacturers in their instructions for installation and use, and by ski shops for the adjustment of ski-bindings already mounted.
It is applicable to state-of-the-art alpine ski bindings.
It might be inappropriate for non-mechanical bindings or bindings used with boots which reach more than half-way up the lower leg.
This document describes a specified method for the selection of the recommended release torques considering three types of skiers.
The method applies to moment-measuring binding test machines, according to ISO 11110.
