3、azards. Protective equipment can not eliminate allinjuries, but will substantially reduce their severity and frequency. Participation in this sport by aplayer implies acceptance of some injury risk.The goal of protective equipment is to minimize the riskof injury.After careful consideration of the m
4、echanisms and forces involved in hockey injuries, thisspecification for eye and facial protective equipment has been prepared. A significant reduction ofoculo-facial injuries by the use of facial protective equipment is an expected result.Performance requirements are presented that are intended to m
5、inimize injury with minimalimpairment of the form and appeal of the sport. The committee considers this specification aspreliminary, subject to revision as indicated by subsequent injury statistics. With these goals in mind,the impact and penetration requirements were determined. It is realized that
6、 ocular and facial injurieswill still be possible; however, it was felt that more stringent requirements may interfere with playerperformance.In addition to the use of facial protective equipment conforming to this specification, the followingrecommendations are made: (1) A minimal stick blade width
7、 of 70 mm (2.8 in.) (per accepted rulebook limits); (2) Modification to rear blade of the ice skate to prevent penetration through wire meshmasks; (3) Stricter rules against high sticking; and (4) Stricter rules and enforcement against fighting.All of the requirements of this specification are subje
8、ct to modification if future statistics demonstratesignificant injuries under game conditions; (5) If full face wire protectors are used for goaltenders, athroat protector must be affixed.1.

It is the responsibility of the user of thisstandard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the
11、 applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.1.1 This specification covers performance requirements and test methods for face protectors marketed, sold, and intended forice hockey.1.2 The intent of this specification is to reduce the risk of injury to the face without compromising the form
12、or appeal of thegame. To do so, the face protector shall be used:1.2.1 As intended within the rules of the game and1.2.2 In accordance with the manufacturers instructions.1.3 Ice hockey is a sport with intrinsic hazards associated with the normal conduct of the game. Participation in ice hockeyimpli
