ISO 10256-1 is part of ISO 10256 and specifies the general requirements for head, face, neck and body protectors (hereinafter referred to as protectors) for use in ice hockey.
ISO 10256-1 is designed for protectors used for ice hockey only. Requirements are given for:
The assurance standards in the ISO 10256 series specify performance requirements for protectors used in ice hockey and are intended to be read 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 establish general requirements and lay the basis for specific standards for ice hockey, taking into account the risks inherent in participating in sports, many 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 protective equipment for use in ice hockey is to reduce the frequency and severity of injuries localized to the part of the body for which the protector is designed. The purpose of the protective function is to disperse and reduce the impact force and resist the penetration of objects applied to the protector and reduce the risk of tearing in the case of neck protectors.
To achieve the performance it can do and to ensure stability when worn, protective equipment should be as close to the body as possible and be consistent with comfort. During use, it is important that the guards are securely fastened, properly fitted, and adjusted according to the manufacturer's instructions.
