Standards
for ski binding settings.
Which standards ?
Ski bindings settings are subject to ISO international standards and
to AFNOR recommendations.
Why standards ?
Standards exist to protect both users and professionnals.
They were set by manufacturers and professionals to obtain maximum
security level, and are based on specific criterias (age, gender, weight,
ski boot length, skier ability, physical condition and skiing style).
These regulations are implemented internationally. Standards will be
use by judges as a point of reference in case of lawsuits to attribute
the responsibility of those who litigate.
The scope of the
standard is wider that what one imagines. Two skiers with the same weight
and the same boot length can have totally different setting figures
in respect with the standards. Skimeter gives the exact and personalized
Z value.
How to process to
set correctly ski bindings?
Manually :
| The
skiman asks the skier his/her age, weight, ski boot length, skier
ability, physical condition and skiing style. To
respect the standards, the skiman must use the double entry table
with the skier’s weight and boot length.
|
|
| The result
must then be adjusted with the skier’s age, ability, physical
condition and skiing style. This
process is long and isn’t accurate; It mainly depends on
the skiman interpretation of the skier’s characteristics.

With Skimeter :
| The skier
steps on skimeter, he chooses his parameters while the machine will
weigh him and take his boot’s length. Skimeter will automatically
give the binding setting on the screen and on a ticket.

and quick ski binding setting.
