Anotation

This practice establishes procedures for the selection of release torque values for Alpine ski/boot/binding systems. The recommended release torque is chosen based on skier type, age, and other factors such as adjustments for normal, discretionary, and release/retention settings. Also discussed are methods of selecting skier type, determining skier code, and determining release torque value. Procedures discussed in this practice may be used by ski binding manufacturers in their instructions for installation and use and by ski shops for making adjustments on already mounted ski bindings. However, this practice does not cover nonmechanical bindings or bindings used with boots that reach more than halfway up the lower leg.
