ISO 10958-2:2015

Overview

ISO 10958-2:2015 - "Snowboards - Binding mounting area - Part 2: Requirements and test methods for snowboards with inserts" specifies dimensional, strength and test requirements for snowboards that use permanently fixed, threaded inserts and screws to attach bindings. It provides manufacturers and test laboratories with standardized specifications for the binding mounting area, including thread geometry, insert depth, engagement, mechanical strength and marking. For dimensions without a stated tolerance, a tolerance of ±1 mm applies.

Key topics and technical requirements

• Insert and screw dimensions
  • Inserts: internal thread M6×1, 6H (ISO 68-1 referenced)
  • Screws: external thread M6×1, 6g
  • Minimum insert well depth i = 5.5 mm
  • Minimum screw engagement E = 2.0 threads
  • Effective threaded depth at least 5.5 mm
  • Maximum countersink depth c = 2.5 mm
• Strength requirements
  • Retention strength (axial pull-out):
    • Minimum 4 500 N for snowboards with suggested rider mass ≥ 45 kg
    • Minimum 3 500 N for suggested rider mass 25 kg to
