ISO 10256-3:2016

ISO 10256-3:2016 specifies performance requirements and test methods for face protectors (including visors) for use in ice hockey and is intended to be used in conjunction with ISO 10256-1. Requirements and the corresponding test methods, where appropriate, are given for the following: a) construction and area of coverage; b) resistance to puck impact; c) penetration; d) field of vision; e) geometric (visual) optics and acuity; f) transmittance and haze; g) marking and information. ISO 10256-3:2016 applies to face 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 is to reduce the risk of injury to the face without compromising the form or appeal of the game.
