Designation:F106108(Reapproved 2013)Standard Specification forSki Binding Test Devices1This standard is issued under the fixed designation F1061;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.INTRODUCTIONThe purpose of this specification is to aid in the selection of ski binding test devices appropriate forthe needs of ski equipment sales and rental facilities.Devices which meet this specification exceed therequirements of Practices F1063 and F1064.Therefore,a device that does not meet this specificationmay still satisfy the requirements of Practices F1063 and F1064.1.Scope1.1 This specification covers requirements for devices usedto determine the release moments of ski equipment in retailsales and rental facilities.1.2 This specification is applicable to the manufacture,repair,and calibration of such devices.1.3 This specification is to be used with Test Method F1062.1.4 The values expressed in newton metres,newtons,andcentimetres are to be regarded as the standard.1.5 The values expressed in units of torque may be con-verted to the appropriate force values when devices thatindicate force are used.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2E456 Terminology Relating to Quality and StatisticsF504 Test Method for Measuring the Quasi-Static ReleaseMoments of Alpine Ski BindingsF939 Practice for Selection of Release Torque Values forAlpine Ski BindingsF1062 Test Method for Verification of Ski Binding TestDevicesF1063 Practice for Functional Inspections and Adjustmentsof Alpine Ski/Binding/Boot SystemsF1064 Practice for Sampling and Inspection of Completeand Incomplete Alpine Ski/Binding/Boot Systems inRental Applications2.2 ISO Standard:8061 Method for the Selection of Release Torque Values33.Terminology3.1 The terms and abbreviations used in this document aredefined in Terminology E456,Test Method F504,and TestMethod F1062.3.2 Terms and abbreviations used in this document arerepeated here for convenience.Refer to Test Method F1062 forequations.3.2.1 athe difference between the calibration of the spe-cific device tested for agreement with an instrument of the typedescribed in Test Method F504,and the calibration of anindividual device of the same design.3.2.2 dthe agreement between the test device and thestandard apparatus described in Test Method F504.3.2.3 rthe imprecision of the device tested.3.2.4 Recommended Operating Range(ROR)the portionof the full range of the test device which is in compliance withthis specification.3.2.5 Operating Range(OR)the portion of the full rangeof the test device which may be employed in compliance withPractices F1063 and F1064.OR shall be defined by the user inaccordance with the section on Inspection in Annex A1 ofPractice F1063,or in the section on Inspection in Annex 2 ofPractice F1064.3.2.6 M1a moment in a horizontal plane as defined in Fig.1b of Test Method F504.3.2.7 M3a moment in a vertical plane with the ski asdefined in Fig.1b of Test Method F504.3.2.8 reference bindinga binding(or group of bindings)used in the verification of a test device.1This specification is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee F27 on SnowSkiing and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee F27.10 on Binding TestProcedures.Current edition approved July 1,2013.Published August 2013.Originallyapproved in 1990.Last previous edition approved in 2008 as F1061 08.DOI:10.1520/F1061-08R13.2For 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.3Available from American National Standards Institute,11 W.42nd St.,13thFloor,New York,NY 10036.Copyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959.United States1 3.2.9 standard apparatuslaboratory equipment includinga test frame and instrumentation(see Test Method F504)usedas the basis of comparison with the test device.3.2.10 test devicea machine for determining the releasemoments of ski/boot/binding systems.4.Classification4.1 Type Ia device capable of indicating both positive andnegative release moments(Mz).4.1.1 Type IAa Type I device with specified limits oflinear displacement or angular deflection.4.1.2 Type IBa Type I device limited in use to a specifiedbinding or group of bindings.4.2 Type IIa device capable of indicating both positiveand negative release moments(My).4.2.1 Type IIAa Type II device with specified limits oflinear displacement or angular deflection.4.2.2 Type IIBa Type II device limited in use to a specifiedbinding or group of bindings.4.3 Type IIIa device other than Type I or Type II withspecified capability.5.Selection of Reference Bindings5.1 A binding(designation B,4.1.2,4.2
