BS ISO 11110-2015 PDF

Full title and description

STB BS ISO 11110-2015 — Winter‑sports equipment — Test devices for the setting of the functional unit ski/boot/binding — Requirements and tests. This document is the 2015 (second) edition of ISO 11110 and specifies design, performance, calibration and testing requirements for devices used to determine release moments of ski bindings in retail, rental and service environments.

Abstract

ISO 11110:2015 sets out the tests and requirements for devices that measure binding release moments (forward bending and torsion), covering design accuracy, operation, maintenance and calibration so that setting devices give reliable and reproducible results. It is intended to be used in conjunction with related standards such as ISO 9462 and ISO 8061.

Scope

This International Standard specifies the tests and requirements for devices used to determine the release moments of ski‑bindings in retail sales, rental and other service facilities. It covers required measurement modes (forward bending and torsion), device behaviour (complete release and observation), quasi‑static loading rates, and the need for calibration and maintenance procedures. The standard is intended to be used together with ISO 9462 and ISO 8061 (and related test‑sole standards) for complete binding setting and testing practice.

Key topics and requirements

• Measured parameters: peak release moments for forward bending and torsion (left/right) reported in newton‑metres (Nm).
• Device design and operation: must release the boot completely, allow continuous observation during release, and apply quasi‑static loading (total release time approx. 2–5 s; specified speed limits).
• Accuracy, resolution and reproducibility: defined resolution and accuracy limits relative to reference devices; reproducibility limits and allowable tolerances are specified.
• Test protocol: use of reference device → test device → reference device sequences, specified number of measurements and data‑handling procedures (trimming highest/lowest values, averaging, etc.).
• Maintenance and calibration: manufacturers must provide instructions, field checks and a maximum calibration interval (practical guidance given in the standard).
• Marking and documentation: guidance on marking (e.g., referencing ISO 11110) and required calibration/test reports accompanying devices.

Typical use and users

Primary users are ski retailers, rental operators, ski‑service workshops, manufacturers and calibrators of binding‑setting/test devices, conformity‑testing laboratories and national standards bodies adopting ISO guidance for safe and reproducible binding settings. The standard supports consistent retail and rental practices and aids equipment manufacturers in designing compliant test devices.

Related standards

Normative and related references include ISO 9462 (Alpine ski‑bindings — Requirements and test methods), ISO 8061 and ISO 9838 (test soles) which together cover binding testing, test soles and conditioning atmospheres (for example ISO 554). These complementary standards are intended to be used with ISO 11110 for full binding‑setting and testing workflows.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: ISO 11110:2015 is an international standard that specifies requirements and test methods for devices used to determine ski‑binding release moments in retail, rental and service contexts.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers device design and operation, measurement parameters (forward bending and torsion), accuracy and resolution requirements, test protocols, calibration and maintenance, and labelling/documentation expectations. It is used with ISO 9462 and ISO 8061.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Ski retailers, rental shops, service workshops, device manufacturers, calibration labs and standards organizations—anyone involved in setting or verifying ski‑binding release values.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: ISO 11110:2015 (Edition 2) replaced ISO 11110:1997. As published in August 2015 it is the current ISO edition; ISO standards are subject to periodic systematic review.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: It forms part of the family of ISO standards addressing alpine ski‑binding performance and testing (notably ISO 9462, ISO 8061 and ISO 9838) and was developed under ISO/TC 83/SC 4 (snowsports equipment).
