NF ISO 8061

<p>ISO 8061:2015 specifies methods for the selection of the release torques for alpine ski-bindings. It gives information necessary to determine the release torques; these are to be recommended for use by ski-binding manufacturers in their instructions for installation and use, and by ski shops for the adjustment of already mounted ski-bindings.</p> <p>It applies to alpine ski-bindings in current use.</p> <p>It might be inappropriate for non-mechanical bindings or bindings used with boots which reach more than half-way up the lower leg.</p> <p>Manufacturers may use either of the two specified methods, or a combination of the two, as the basis for their recommended release torques.</p> <p>The methods apply to torque-measuring binding test machines. If force-measuring test machines are used, it is necessary to report the release force, calculated as shown in Clause 3.</p> <p>In recommending the release torques, it is necessary to take into account the abilities of the skier concerned by applying skier-type correction factors. For this purpose, three types of skier are defined, as described in Annex A.</p>
