Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through
ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee
has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations,
governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely
with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are described
in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the different types
of ISO document should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the editorial rules of the
ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
ISO draws attention to the possibility that the implementation of this document may involve the use of (a)
patent(s). ISO takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of any claimed patent
rights in respect thereof. As of the date of publication of this document, ISO had not received notice of (a)
patent(s) which may be required to implement this document. However, implementers are cautioned that
this may not represent the latest information, which may be obtained from the patent database available at
www.iso.org/patents. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not

This document was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 83, Sports and other recreational facilities
and equipment, Subcommittee SC 5, Ice hockey equipment and facilities, in collaboration with the European
Committee for Standardization (CEN) Technical Committee CEN/TC 158, Head protection, in accordance
with the Agreement on technical cooperation between ISO and CEN (Vienna Agreement).
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 10256-1:2016), which has been technically
revised.
The main changes are as follows:
— Clause 2 has been added;
— Clause 3 has been moved from Clause 2 and definitions have been edited and updated;
— 4.1 has been edited and updated to include requirements and references to test methods for verification;
— 4.2 has been edited and updated to include requirements for materials (4.2.1) and design (4.2.2) and
reference to test methods for verification;
— in Clause 5, test methods have been added for ergonomics (5.1) and innocuousness (5.2) in order to
verify their compliance;
— Clause 7 has been edited to clarify requirements for laboratory environment conditions (7.1) and ambient
sample conditioning (7.2);
— Clause 8 requirements have been edited to include observations for defects and missing components,
any damage after testing, as well as identification of the test equipment used in testing;
— Clause 9 has been edited to include requirements for year and month of manufacture, the manufacturer’s
or importer’s full postal address, and alternate labelling requirements for the same;
— Clause 10 has been edited to include clarification regarding the language used and the intended use of
the product;

Introduction
Ice hockey is a high-speed, collision sport in which there is a risk of injury. By playing this sport, participants
accept the risk of serious injury, paralysis and/or death.
The intention of protective equipment for use in ice hockey is to reduce the frequency and severity of injuries
to that part of the body for which the protector is intended. The protective function is intended to distribute
and dampen the force of impact and to counteract the penetration of objects applied to the protector, and in
the case of neck protectors, reduce the risk of lacerations.
Education in the proper use and fitting of protective equipment is critical to its performance.
Enforcement of the rules of play and consistent officiating are also essential for best performance of the
protective equipment in reducing the risk of injury.
