Full Description

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.
