ISO 10256-2:202x specifies performance requirements and test methods for head protectors for use in ice hockey and is intended to be used in conjunction with ISO 10256-1:202x. Requirements and the corresponding test methods, where appropriate, are given for the following: a) materials and construction b) protected area (coverage); c) penetration resistance (test blade); d) field of vision; e) shock absorbing capacity; f) retention system properties; g) test report; h) markings; and i) information for users. This part of ISO 10256 applies to head protectors worn by ice hockey players (not goalkeepers, except where ISO 10256-4:202x references this Standard), and referees.
