Full title and description

Alpine skis — Binding mounting area — Requirements for test screws. This standard specifies the dimensions, mechanical properties, surface finish and fastening characteristics of the standardized test screws used when assessing and testing the binding mounting area of alpine skis (intended to provide reproducible test conditions for mounting/binding tests and pull‑out or fatigue checks).

Abstract

This ISO document defines the geometry, material, strength and surface treatment requirements for the test screws used to evaluate the binding mounting area of alpine skis. It ensures test repeatability by prescribing screw major diameters, thread length, head form and drive type, electroplating and resistance criteria (torque, stripping and pull‑out performance), and references relevant material and electroplating standards for manufacture.

Scope

Specifies requirements for the test screws that are used when carrying out tests on the binding mounting area of alpine skis. The standard covers screw material and hardness criteria, head and drive form, dimensional limits (including major diameter and thread length), surface finish and electroplating requirements, and minimum mechanical performance (breaking moment, driving and stripping torques, pull‑out resistance) so that test results are reproducible and comparable between laboratories and manufacturers. It does not specify the test methods for ski bindings themselves, only the characteristics of the screws used in such tests.

Key topics and requirements

• Designated purpose: standardized test screws for binding mounting area testing on alpine skis.
• Material: specified steel grade for screw body (commonly C15E / equivalent per referenced material standards) to ensure consistent mechanical behaviour.
• Head and drive: maximum head diameter and specified drive type (cross‑recess type Z No. 3 or equivalent) with defined penetration depth and toothed head underside for grip.
• Thread and geometry: specified major diameter range and minimum thread length beyond penetration depth; shaft and end profile defined in the standard.
• Surface finish: zinc electroplated coating with chromate conversion and target thickness; electroplating procedures called out to avoid hydrogen embrittlement (references to electroplating practice standards).
• Mechanical requirements: minimum breaking moment, ductility behaviour, allowable driving torque and minimum stripping torque, and minimum mean static pull‑out resistance (benchmarked against a reference screw type in related standards).
• Application characteristics: recommended drill diameter for test holes (example: 4.1 mm H12) and target driving/stripping torque windows to support reproducible test set‑ups.

Technical values and examples (material designation, dimensional ranges, torques, coating class and test performance) are specified in the standard text.

Typical use and users

Used by ski manufacturers, component suppliers, test laboratories, conformity assessment bodies and standards committees. Typical use cases include laboratory mounting tests, pull‑out and fatigue testing of binding mounting areas, quality control on production sample assemblies, and development/testing of new binding mounting systems where a reproducible, standardized screw is required to isolate variables in test procedures.

Related standards

References and cross‑references include the earlier ISO 10045:1991 (superseded), material and electroplating standards used to specify screw material and coating (examples cited in the standard: EN 10084 for steel grade designations, ISO 4042 for electroplating practice, and the reference screw specification cited for pull‑out comparison). The standard was prepared under ISO/TC 83 (winter sports equipment) and its relevant subcommittee.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: ISO 10045:2017 is an ISO specification that defines the required characteristics of test screws used when testing the binding mounting area of alpine skis (dimensions, material, surface treatment and mechanical performance).

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers screw geometry (major diameter, thread length and shaft profile), head form and drive, material designation, surface finish (zinc plating with chromate conversion), and minimum mechanical performance criteria (breaking moment, driving/stripping torque and pull‑out resistance) to ensure repeatable test conditions.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Ski manufacturers, binding manufacturers, independent test laboratories, conformity assessment bodies, and standards developers involved in winter sports equipment testing.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: ISO 10045:2017 is the current edition (published in 2017) and it supersedes ISO 10045:1991. National adoptions or translations may have been published by national bodies in early 2018.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: It is a standalone ISO document for test screws related to alpine ski binding mounting area testing; it sits within the body of ISO work for winter sports equipment under ISO/TC 83 and references other standards for material and plating practices rather than being part of a numbered multipart series.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Alpine skis, binding mounting area, test screws, test fasteners, torque, pull‑out resistance, electroplating, ski testing.
