scope:

This International Standard specifies laboratory measurementmethods to determine the elastic properties of alpine skis. Itspurpose is to calculate the resistance of defined parts of the skito bending and torsion. The standard measurement procedures arerecommended in order to ensure comparability between laboratorymeasurement data determined and published by ski manufacturers,institutions and others. In this International Standard no attemptis made to relate the measurement data to the quality of theski.
