Full Description

ISO 10256-2:2016 specifies performance requirements and test methods for head protectors for use in ice hockey and is intended to be read in conjunction with ISO 10256-1.

Requirements and the corresponding test methods, where appropriate, are given for the following:

a) construction and protected area;

b) shock absorption;

c) penetration;

d) retention system properties;

e) field of vision;

f) marking and information.

ISO 10256-2:2016 applies to head protectors worn by

- players other than goalkeepers, and

- certain functionaries (e.g. referees).

NOTE 1 The requirements of a Clause take precedent over a figure.

NOTE 2 The intent of this part of ISO 10256 is to reduce the risk of injury to the head without compromising the form or appeal of the game.
