1、Designation: F 1703 04An American National StandardStandard Guide forIce Hockey Playing Facilities1This standard is issued under the fixed designation F 1703; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revisio
2、n. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.INTRODUCTIONSince its inception, the game of ice hockey has evolved as a result of a convergence of ideas fromCanada, the United States, and
3、Europe. As a result of differing influences, there are a wide variety ofplaying facilities currently in use, accompanied by wide disparities in margins of safety provided toplayers, game officials, and spectators.The purpose is to provide a guide for safer ice hockey playing facilities. Attention is
4、 called to thedimensions of the ice surface. The majority of facilities in Europe comply with those of theInternational Olympic Committee, 200 ft (60 m) in length and 100 ft (30 m) in width, while in NorthAmerica, the majority of facilities are 200 ft (60 m) in length and 85 ft (26 m) in width.In th
5、e interest of future standardization, it is recommended that ice surface dimensions of all newfacilities are those found in this guide.It is recognized that ice hockey playing facilities also are used for figure skating, speed skating,pleasure skating, and for the sports of broomball, curling, sledg
6、e hockey, and ringette. Organizers ofthese sports may adopt the present guide as written, or modify the guide in accordance with theirspecial interests.1. Scope1.1 The intent of this guide is to provide consistent safetyconsiderations in the design specifications and construction ofnew ice hockey pl
7、aying facilities. It is intended to standardizefacility conditions and establish guidelines that will provide alevel of conformity for the purpose of competition and reducepotential hazards to players, game officials, and spectators.1.2 This guide should be taken into consideration by archi-tects, p
8、lanners, engineers, construction companies, construc-tion contractors, and appropriate inspectors who may beinvolved in the design and construction of new ice hockeyplaying facilities. This guide applies to the construction anddevelopment of new ice hockey playing facilities.1.3 The values stated in
