Full title and description

ISO 10228:2011 — Cross-country skis — Binding mounting area — Requirements for test screws. This International Standard specifies the dimensions, mechanical properties and fastening characteristics of test screws used for testing the binding mounting area of cross-country skis.

Abstract

ISO 10228:2011 defines the physical dimensions, required mechanical properties (material and strength characteristics) and the fastening/retention characteristics expected of the test screws that are used when performing mechanical tests on the binding mounting area of cross‑country skis. The standard is short (technical specification) and intended to ensure repeatable, comparable test conditions for binding‑mounting tests.

Scope

Applies to the test screws specifically used for testing the binding mounting area of cross‑country skis. The standard establishes required screw dimensions, mechanical properties (for example material and heat‑treatment/mechanical strength references) and fastening characteristics so that binding‑area tests are consistent and reproducible across test laboratories and manufacturers.

Key topics and requirements

• Defined geometric dimensions and tolerances for test screws used in binding‑area testing (thread form, length, head type where specified).
• Mechanical property requirements (referenced heat‑treatment and strength properties for tapping screws used as test screws).
• Fastening and retention characteristics relevant to test setup (expected engagement, holding, and torque/installation characteristics used during tests).
• Normative references to related screw and fastener standards (for example tapping‑screw thread and mechanical property standards referenced by ISO 10228:2011).

These topics are summarized from the ISO standard and associated product listings that describe the normative references and technical focus of the document.

Typical use and users

Primary users are cross‑country ski manufacturers, binding manufacturers, test laboratories and certification/inspection bodies performing mechanical tests on ski binding mounting areas. Standards committees, product designers and procurement/specification teams within winter‑sports equipment companies also reference this standard when defining test hardware and procedures. National standards bodies often publish identical/adopted national versions for local use.

Related standards

ISO 10228:2011 is part of the ISO/TC 83 (Snowsports equipment) corpus and sits alongside related documents such as ISO 7794/7795 series (screws and test methods for ski bindings), and other ski and binding standards (for example ISO 11088 for alpine ski/binding/boot systems is a separate related family). National identical adoptions exist (BS, DIN, NEN, NF, etc.).
