EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of ISO 10256-3 testing. ISO 10256-3 specifies performance requirements and test methods for face shields (including visors) used in ice hockey and is intended for use in conjunction with ISO 10256-1.
Ice hockey is a high-speed, impact sport where there is a risk of injury. The purpose of this part of ISO 10256 is to specify the requirements for face shields, taking into account the risks inherent in participating in sports, most of which cannot be eliminated by protective equipment. By playing this sport, participants accept the risk of serious injury, stroke, or death.
The purpose of face shielding is to reduce the frequency and severity of localized injuries to the head and the part of the face surrounded by the shield. The protection function is such that the force from impacts on the shield is dissipated and damped and resisted from the ingress of objects.
Face shields may consist of eye shields (visors) or full face shields. They are always worn in conjunction with an ice hockey helmet. Face shields are tested and evaluated together with the helmet or helmets for which the face shield is designed.
To achieve the performance it can do and provide stability on the head, a helmet and associated face shield are intended to fit as tightly as possible, consistent with comfort. During use, it is important that the helmet and associated face shield are securely fastened with any chin strap or neck strap adjusted according to the manufacturer's instructions.
