prEN ISO 10256-1

ISO 10256-1:202x specifies general requirements and test methods for head, face, neck and body protectors (hereafter referred to as protectors) for use in ice hockey and is intended to be used in conjunction with other collateral standards in the ISO 10256 series. ISO 10256-1:202x is intended only for protectors used for ice hockey. Requirements are given for the following: a) terms and definitions; b) materials and construction; c) tolerances; d) conditioning; e) test report; f) markings; and g) information for users. In the ISO 10256 series, collateral standards specify performance requirements for protectors for use in ice hockey and are intended to be used in conjunction with this part of ISO 10256. NOTE 1 The requirements of a clause take precedence over a figure. NOTE 2 The intent is to reduce the risk of injury to an ice hockey player without compromising the form or appeal of the game. These standards presume that the rules of play for ice hockey will be followed by players and enforced by officials.
