1、Designation: F 472 92 (Reapproved 2006)Standard Terminology forGeometry of Alpine Skis1This standard is issued under the fixed designation F 472; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number i
2、n parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This terminology covers the terms required to describethe geometry ofAlpine skis and does not cover special purposeskis.1.2 The terms are pres
