Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.INTRODUCTIONAdhering to these guidelines may help to reduce the risk of injuries resulting f
3、rom impropermechanical functioning of releasable binding systems. However, skiing involves inherent and otherrisks. Injury can result from simply falling down, impact with an object, or from many other actions.Many injuries are unrelated to system function. Furthermore, even a properly functioning s
4、ystemcannot protect the skier in all situations. Therefore, it is to be clearly understood that compliance withthese guidelines in no way guarantees that injury can be prevented.1.

27、nificance and Use5.1 The purpose of this practice is to aid in providing theend user with an appropriate functioning system and release/retention value by providing the rental facility with an ongoingprogram for monitoring the appropriateness of functionalcharacteristics of the system. It is assumed
28、 that these proce-dures are integrated into the maintenance and operating pro-cedures specified by the equipment manufacturers. This prac-tice is not intended to create additional or redundantrequirements for the rental facility. However, this practiceshould be the basis for the development of renta
29、l procedures ifthe equipment manufacturers maintenance and operating pro-cedures do not specifically state that they are in compliancewith this practice. This practice will aid the rental facility inproviding the end user with an appropriate release/retentionvalue.5.2 This practice is applicable to
30、rental facilities that usereleasable Alpine ski bindings. It is not intended as a methodfor evaluating equipment design.6. Test Device6.1 All tests specified in this practice are made with a devicethat indicates torque. Such a device should be inspected by therental facility in accordance with Annex
31、 A2.7. Equipment Inspection Requirements7.1 Preseason InspectionPrior to the beginning of eachseason and whenever new inventory is added, an inspectionshould be made of the components of the release/retentionsystem. Units that do not meet the specified tolerances arerepaired, modified, or replaced.7
32、.1.1 A visual inspection for compatibility and interchange-ability is performed on all boots in accordance with theprocedures recommended by the binding manufacturer.7.1.2 As a check on boots that are new to inventory, a singleunit sample, by make, model, and size, is taken and tested inaccordance w
33、ith the procedures in Section 9. If a boot fails, allboots in the category are visually inspected for the defect andas a check, a 16-unit (or less if 16 are not available) randomsample is taken and tested in accordance with the procedures inSection 9. If any boots in this sample fail, all remaining
34、bootsin the category are tested.7.1.3 As a check on boots that have been accepted intoinventory in a prior season, a 5 % (not less than 16 nor moreF1064072than 80-unit) sample is taken and tested in accordance with theprocedures in Section 9. If a boot fails, all boots in that make,model, or age cat
35、egory are visually inspected for the defect. Ifthe defect is found in another boot category, all boots in thatcategory also are tested in accordance with the procedures inSection 9.7.1.4 Boots that meet the criteria for compatibility but donot meet the criteria for interchangeability are used in non
36、-interchangeable rental programs only.7.1.5 Preseason tests for compatibility or interchangeability,or both, of the boot need not be made if the binding manufac-turers current operating procedures specifically state that theboot is not a functional component of the release system andthat such tests
37、are unnecessary.7.1.6 Bindings used in an interchangeable rental programare inspected for appropriate function and valid visual indicatorsetting in accordance with the procedures in Section 9.7.1.7 Bindings used in a non-interchangeable system aretested for appropriate function and valid visual indi
38、catorswhenever a new system is created, whenever called for as aresult of the sampling procedure, or when recommended by thebinding manufacturer.7.1.8 Bindings that incorporate a single means of adjust-ment for all release directions are tested in either twist orforward lean but need not be tested f
39、or both during thepreseason inspection. However, a 5 % (but not less than 16 normore than 80-unit) random sample is tested in both directionsby the procedure in Section 9. If a binding fails, a visualinspection for the defect is conducted on all bindings. Allbindings, in any binding category in whic
40、h a defective unit isfound, are tested in accordance with the procedures in Section9.7.2 In-Season InspectionAt regular intervals, as specifiedin Section 8, samples are taken from the rental inventory andevaluated in accordance with the procedures in Section 9.7.2.1 The inventory fails the sample if
41、 a Class I deviation isdetected in more than 20 % of the units in the sample, or if asingle Class II deviation is detected.7.2.2 If a Class II deviation is detected in the sample, thecause must be identified and the entire rental inventoryinspected for the defect and appropriate corrections made.7.2
42、.2.1 Class I deviations, when detected, need not becorrected.7.2.3 If a Class III deviation is detected in the sample, allpertinent procedures as defined by the binding manufacturerare reviewed and corrective action taken to the entire rentalinventory.7.3 Incomplete InspectionAn inspection of the ty
43、pe de-scribed in 7.3.1, 7.3.2,or7.3.3 is conducted each time anincomplete rental system is assembled during the rental trans-action.7.3.1 The equipment is assembled, adjusted, and inspectedaccording to normal rental procedures as defined in thispractice, provided a new-to-inventory inspection, as de
44、scribedin this practice, has been conducted on the make, model, andshell size of the boot presented to the facility during the rentaltransaction. The condition of the boot presented to the facilityshould be representative of the shops boot inventory.7.3.2 The equipment is assembled, adjusted, and in
45、spectedaccording to normal rental procedures as defined in thispractice, provided the boot meets the specific requirements ofthe binding manufacturer.7.3.3 If the customer is offering his own skis/bindings foruse with the shops boots, then the equipment should beassembled, adjusted, and inspected ac
46、cording to the normalprocedures used during the inspection of user owned equip-ment as defined in Practice F 1063. This procedure also may befollowed whenever the customers boot fails the inspection in7.3.2, or the boot does not meet inventory requirements in7.3.1.8. Sampling Requirements8.1 Sample
47、SizeSample size is 5 % of inventory, but notless than 16 nor more than 80 units.8.1.1 Sample size may be based on average daily output ifrental output drops below 50 % of capacity over the samplinginterval.8.1.2 The sample is taken at any time during the samplinginterval or may be spread over the pe
48、riod.8.1.3 The sample represents both inventory available forrental and equipment in the condition in which it is returned,with an equal number of units drawn from each group.All unitswithin such sample should be selected randomly (see 3.1.15).8.2 Sampling FrequencyA sample of the size specified in8
49、.1 is taken every seven days of operation. If the facility failsa sample, daily sampling is instituted. Daily sampling iscontinued until two consecutive samples have passed. Normalsampling is then resumed. After two consecutive weekly(seven days of operation) samples have been conducted with-out a sample failure, the facility may institute a reducedsampling schedule of one sample per 14 days of operation. Ifany sample fails on the reduced schedule, a daily schedule isinstituted.8.2.1 Facilities that have an average daily output of fewerthan
