Designation:F106411(Reapproved 2016)Standard Practice forSampling and Inspection of Complete and IncompleteAlpine Ski/Binding/Boot Systems in Rental Applications1This standard is issued under the fixed designation F1064;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.INTRODUCTIONAdhering to these guidelines may help to reduce the risk of injuries resulting from impropermechanical functioning of releasable binding systems.However,skiing involves inherent and otherrisks.Injury can result from simply falling down,impact with an object,or from many other actions.Many injuries are unrelated to system function.Furthermore,even a properly functioning systemcannot protect the skier in all situations.Therefore,it is to be clearly understood that compliance withthese guidelines in no way guarantees that injury can be prevented.1.Scope1.1 This practice establishes a uniform method for thesampling and inspection of complete and incomplete Alpineski/binding/boot systems used in rental operations.This prac-tice is appropriate for use in rental applications in which all orpart of the functional components of the system are supplied bythe rental facility.1.2 This practice should be followed by any facility thatrents complete or incomplete Alpine ski/binding/boot systemsto an end user.NOTE1Refer to Practice F1063 for equivalent procedures andtolerances for retail systems.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2F939 Practice for Selection of Release Torque Values forAlpine Ski BindingsF1063 Practice for Functional Inspections and Adjustmentsof Alpine Ski/Binding/Boot Systems3.Terminology3.1 Definitions:3.1.1 Class I deviationa minor deviation that does notrequire corrective action,defined as 616 to 30%,or twohorizontal rows up or down from the selected reference torquevalue as determined on the binding manufacturers adjustmentchart.Class I deviations are used to determine the frequency ofsampling.3.1.2 Class II deviationa minor deviation that promptsinspection of the entire inventory and corrective action,definedas 631 to 45%,or three horizontal rows up or down from theselected reference torque value as determined on the bindingmanufacturers adjustment chart.3.1.3 Class III deviationa major deviation that promptscorrective action and a review of all procedures,defined asmore than 645%,or more than three horizontal rows up ordown from the selected reference torque value as determinedon the binding manufacturers adjustment chart.The in-seasonsampling and inspection program is designed to render theoccurrence of a Class III deviation unlikely.3.1.4 clean versus lubricated tolerancethe accepted dif-ference between clean and lubricated test result(s),defined asnot more than 20%of the clean test,used whenever afunctional test for binding-boot compatibility is required.3.1.5 correction factorthe value that must be added orsubtracted from the initial visual indicator setting to bring thetest result within the inspection tolerance(see 3.1.9).3.1.6 corrective actionprocedures other than readjustmentof the visual indicator setting to include repair or replacementof system components.3.1.7 deviationthe difference between the test result(s)and the selected reference torque value,usually expressed as apercentage of the selected reference torque value.1This practice is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee F27 on SnowSkiing and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee F27.50 on Shop Procedures(Retail and Rental).Current edition approved Aug.1,2016.Published August 2016.Originallyapproved in 1989.Last previous edition approved in 2011 as F1064 11.DOI:10.1520/F1064-11R16.2For referenced ASTM standards,visit the ASTM website,www.astm.org,orcontact ASTM Customer Service at serviceastm.org.For Annual Book of ASTMStandards volume information,refer to the standards Document Summary page onthe ASTM website.Copyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959.United States1 3.1.8 initial visual indicator settingthe visual indicatorsetting derived from the binding manufacturers release/retention adjustment chart.3.1.9 inspection tolerancethe accepted difference betweenthe reference torque value and the test result.Defined as615%of the reference torque value,or 63 Nm for twist and610 Nm for forward lean,whichever is greater,or onehorizontal row up or down from the selected reference torquevalue determined on the binding manufacturers adjustmentchart.Use as the criteria for prompting consultation of thebinding manufacturers troubleshooting procedures or applica-tion of a correction factor,should procedures not be available.3.1.9.1 DiscussionIn the case when an algorithm or tableis used to provide a value,either may be used(differences maybe insignificant).3.1.1
